Dozens of Iraq and Afghanistan war veterans publicly testified this weekend about crimes they committed during the course of battle, many of which were prompted by the orders or policies laid down by superior officers. The weekend gathering, called the Winter Soldier Event demonstrated that well-publicized incidents of U.S. brutality, including the Abu Ghraib prison scandal and the massacre of an entire family of Iraqis in the town of Haditha, are not isolated incidents perpetrated by "a few bad apples," as many politicians and military leaders have claimed. They are part of a pattern, the organizers said, of "an increasingly bloody occupation." One testimony:"Apr. 18, 2006 was the date of my first confirmed kill. He was innocent, I called him the fat man. He was walking back to his house

From the office of State Rep. Mike Villarreal (D-San Antonio): Representative Mike Villarreal is scheduled to testify before the Texas House Economic Development Committee on Thursday, March 13 about the importance of including support for small business entrepreneurs in the state’s economic development strategy. Rep.

Blackwater CEO Erik Prince goes to Capitol Hill to testify before Rep. Henry Waxman's (D-CA) House Government Reform and Oversight committee. One issue that's got our attention about Blackwater is the firm's ability to leapfrog a number of much older and well-established US firms in Iraq. And that's got us interested in Prince's Republican political credentials.Along those lines, a few details about Prince to help frame tomorrow's hearing.Erik Prince is 37 years old. He founded Blackwater in 1997 with money he inherited from his father, Edgar Prince, the head of Prince Automative. The elder Prince and his wife were major Republican and conservative activists and funders. And Prince himself co-founded The Family Research Council with Gary Bauer and apparently provided the key early funding for the group.According to Bauer, "I can say without hesitation that, without Ed and Elsa and their wonderful children, there simply would not be a Family Research Council."Prince's sister, Bet

    According to this article a judge has ordered John Murtha to testify in a defamation case against him in the Haditha marines suit. In case you have forgotten Murtha said that United States marines killed Iraqi civilians in cold blood before he was briefed on the situation. This means he either had inside information or he lied to push his anti-Bush, anti-war agenda. Either way this doesn’t bode well for him. The Justice Department wanted the case dismissed because Murtha was acting in his official role as a lawmaker. Assistant U.S. Attorney John F. Henault said the comments were made as part of the debate over the war in Iraq.   So he is arguing that he can say whatever the hell he wants as long as it is official business. He is saying he can make up whatever he wants because he is debating the Iraq war. Aren’t you supposed to use facts in a debate, not here-say? The judge would have none of that. ”You’re writing a very wide road for members of Congress

Finally Murtha might get what he deserves for accusing a Marine of war atrocities. He, along with the Justive department had assumed he was immune from prosecution due to being a Congressman. US District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer feels otherwise. Collyer said she was troubled by the idea the lawmakers are immune from lawsuits regardless of what they say to advance their political careers.John Murtha is now required to give a sworn deposition as to his accusations. I can already hear the loony left squawking about what a “chilling effect” this will have on the nations lawmakers. Well, maybe that’s not such a bad idea. When you have lawmakers making unfounded accusations of this sort maybe they shouldn’t be able to hide behind the law. Here’s a startling thought…maybe they should be responsible for what they say and do the same as the rest of us? ~RJH Fox News article link Judge Orders Rep. John Murtha to Testify in Marine Sergeant Defamation Case WASHINGTON —  A federal judge r

In discussing Dan Rather’s suit yesterday I noted that the validity of the charges against Bush, even if the questionable memos are ignored. I wonder if Bush isn’t as much a target in the suit as CBS. There’s speculation that Rather will call George Bush as a witness: Former CBS “Evening News” anchor Dan Rather choked back tears on several occasions today when discussing his decision to file a lawsuit against CBS and he left many audience members with a sense that he may call President George W. Bush as a witness should the lawsuit proceed to trial (and Rather said he hoped it would). When asked by Carol Joynt, host of the “Q&A Café” held at Nathans restaurant who worked with Rather at CBS in the 1970s, whether “he’d like to” call President Bush as a witness in the trial, Rather paused, then said “I’d like not to answer the question,” leaving both Joynt and audience members wondering whether the newsman

Judge rules in rapper's favour.50 Cent will not be forced to testify in the assault trial of NBA star Allen Iverson, a US federal judge ruled on June 15.The rapper was called on because he knew some of the basketball player's security detail who were involved in a bar fight that led to the lawsuit.The fight occurred in 2005 in downtown Washington DC between members of Iverson's security detail and bar customers. Two customers sued for more than $5 million, accusing the entourage of assault and alleging that Iverson hit one of them with a bottle, reports the Associated Press. 50 Cent, was not involved in the fight, but could have been called on because of his personal association with the parties involved.However, his lawyer argued that since he was not involved in the fight and is not named in the lawsuit, he should not have to travel from his home in Connecticut to the trial in Washington.The federal judge agreed, since his residence is more than 100 miles from the court.

To say that it is a surprise to hear that Monica Goodling is taking the fifth amendment and refusing to testify to Congress is more than a bit of an understatement. The senior counselor to the countries number one law enforcement executive is afraid of incriminating herself!? I heard about her taking an immediate leave of absence some time ago and assumed we would hear more about it. Her lawyer is saying this is just a "strategic move" on her part. Uhhh yeah, ok. I will agree with him though that testifying before Congress at this time is a lose lose situation. The Democrats already have their minds made up about what any testimony will mean. Now it's just a matter of waiting for someone to say any words that can be spun to their liking. In other words it is a total "Gotcha!" environment. Strategic move?
