Michael Savage Makes A Difference To Haditha's Real Victims, American Soldiers

Savage went to work early on his show in defense of the entire group of Marines wrongly accused of murder by a bunch of vengeful Iraqi's who employed the treasonous American media, all too eager to jump on any story whatsoever to embarrass George Bush number one, and whoever got tangled up in that mission was of no consequence to them.

This became quite apparent when Pennsylvania Congress mooch and slug named Jack Jihad Murtha took up the cause of the enemy as who was supposed to be the people these soldiers were over there saving when he also bought the rogue terrorists' story sold to that eager Time mag stringer who brought the story home to the BDS infected Time editors. I was at the time an active writer at a anti Jihad Jack Murtha blog called "Murtha Must Go", owned by American Gold Star Father and Good Friend and Patriot Leo Pusateri who's also blogging at Psycmeister's Ice Palace along with MMG, and we too covered this story ad auseum calling for Murtha's resignation as well as impeachment still to this day, piece of vermin he is and always will be.

Here's the original report that shocked the world a few years back that was given legs by Murtha's "they killed in cold blood" statement heard around the world regardless of it's unchecked or proven veracity

They propelled the entire farce to the point of these obviously completely innocent soldiers just doing their jobs being railroaded in by the government for dog and pony prosecutions that have done nothing but prove the case was a complete sham from the start, and cost the 8 families millions of dollars defending their innocent loved ones, money most didn't have but managed to come up with for more qualified civilian attorneys to defend and win their cases.

All except one family who Savage took up the case of and through his radio and his listeners like myself raised the money for this soldier, Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani who like all the others has now been determined to be innocent of all charges, charges that never should have been brought in the first place and have left a terrible scar on Bush's legacy for allowing it to proceed and the military for caving in to fascist pressures from the congress, left wing citizenry and MSM.

Michael Savage credited with making Haditha case difference

WorldNetDaily A non-profit legal group representing Marine Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani against government allegations related to a firefight in Haditha, Iraq, is crediting radio talk show host Michael Savage and his audience with helping bring about victory.

"Michael Savage has given a national forum to the law center so that we could show the government's persecution of one of our bravest combat leaders," said Richard Thompson, president and chief counsel of the Thomas More Law Center.

"The government took its best shot and lost. They have wasted millions of taxpayers' dollars. It's time for the Pentagon to say 'enough is enough.' I now call upon our military and civilian leaders to drop this persecution of Lt. Col. Chessani and his family," Thompson said today.

WND reported yesterday when the Navy-Marine Corps Court of Criminal Appeals affirmed a decision to dismiss the counts against Chessani.

The law center said the result was at least partly the work of Savage and the audience of his radio show, "The Savage Nation," who donate tens of thousands of dollars for the expenses of the defense.
"For the last four years, Lt. Col. Chessani has been investigated and prosecuted for his involvement in the so-called 'Haditha Massacre' – a massacre that never happened," the law firm said.

"During this entire court process, the Thomas More Law Center, a national public interest law firm based in Ann Arbor, Michigan, has been representing Lt. Col. Chessani without charge. The estimated attorney fees thus far would have amounted to a million dollars," the organization said.

"However, the law center is receiving donations from patriotic Americans all across America to support the cost of their defense of Lt. Col. Chessani. One of Lt. Col. Chessani's greatest supporters is conservative radio talk show commentator, Dr. Michael Savage. Dr. Savage personally donated upwards of $20,000 to the law center to assist in Lt. Col. Chessani's defense. It is estimated that because of his encouragement, Savage listeners donated tens of thousands of dollars to Lt. Col. Chessani's defense as well," the law center said.

Savage, who broadcasts weekdays from 3-6 p.m. Pacific Time, has been recognized by Talkers Magazine with its Freedom of Speech award. Trained as a scientist, he holds master's degrees in medical botany and medical anthropology and earned a Ph.D. from the University of California at Berkeley in epidemiology and nutrition Science.

Savage is also the author of 20 books, including four New York Times best-sellers. His latest book, "Psychological Nudity," tells his childhood stories and is largely apolitical.

The law center confirmed today that the government, which allowed unlawful command influence to seep into the case against Chessani, has another four weeks to decide whether to file another appeal.

The criminal charges originated with a legitimate combat action taken by four enlisted Marines in Chessani's command after they were ambushed by insurgents in Haditha, Iraq, on Nov. 19, 2005.

Even though Chessani wasn't present during the incident, he was criminally charged with failing to launch a full investigation into the incident. If convicted, he faces two and a half years imprisonment, dismissal from the corps, and loss of all of his retirement pay.

The case developed after U.S. Rep. John Murtha, a Democrat, publicly accused troops of "killing innocent civilians in cold blood." That was after a military investigation of the firefight found "no indication" that the Marines had "intentionally targeted, engaged and killed noncombatants."

As WND reported, the case against Chessani was originally dismissed after Col. Steven Folsom, who presided over the case, ruled the charges were tainted by "unlawful command influence." Folsom cited improper closed-door meetings with investigators that gave credence to the defense's argument that Chessani was made a "political scapegoat" for the highly publicized Haditha incident.

Eventually eight Marines were charged, but cases against Lance Cpls. Stephen Tatum and Justin Sharratt, Capts. Randy Stone and Lucas McConnell and Sgt. Sanick P. Dela Cruz were dropped. First Lt. Andrew Grayson was acquitted, leaving only the Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich case pending and Lt. Col. Chessani's case in appeals.
