All,
I spent the past few weeks attending the General Court Martial (GCM) of 
Frank Wuterich down at Camp Pendleton and most of the past 5 and  years 
observing and supporting the Haditha and Hamdania Marine cases.  The last 
Haditha persecution came to a screeching halt on Monday when Frank agreed to 
a deal to plead guilty to dereliction of duty.

24th Jan 2012 the judge, Col. David Jones, pronounced sentence on Frank 
Wuterich for his actions on 19th Nov 2005 in Haditha.  Judge Jones sentenced 
Frank to the maximum of 90 days in the brig and reduction to Private (E1), 
thankfully Frank will not serve any jail time.

The original murder charges Frank faced were reduced to manslaughter some 
years ago and the plea to dereliction of duty meant the manslaughter charges 
were completely dropped.  The dereliction of duty charge stemmed from the 
âshoot first ask questions laterâ phrase that Frank uttered sometime after 
the IED exploded and killed LCpl Miguel Terrazas.

Iâve attached my views and a recap of sentencing, birds eye view, for those 
of you who care to read it.  Stuff you wont read in the media :)

Slainte,
Clo
