Support The Camp Pendleton 8

American troops in shackles
By Michelle Malkin

Did you know there are seven young Marines and a Navy Corpsman sitting in a military brig right now in leg and wrist shackles — despite the fact that they've not been charged with any crime?

The men are in solitary confinement, locked in 8'x8' cells at San Diego's Camp Pendleton, as investigators probe an April 26 incident involving the 3rd Battalion, 5th Regiment, 1st Marine Division. They are behind bars 23 hours a day; family members can only see them through inch-thick Plexiglass. Military blabbermouths have told the press that the service members are suspected of kidnapping and shooting a man in the Iraqi town of Hamandiya. The Iraqi man's family reportedly came forward seeking payment for his death as media hysteria set in over the separate alleged atrocity in Haditha.

These men — our men — may be innocent. They may be guilty. Charges may or may not be filed this week. But this much is certain: The media leaks and the Murtha-fication of the case are already taking a heavy toll on the troops and their families. ...

Read on. Hat tip: Michelle, who has much more here.]

I've been remiss in not posting about this earlier, and I apologize. I'd been under the mistaken impression that these men had been charged with a crime and didn't research the situation like I should have. I'll try to do a better job of tracking the situation from now on. Treating men who have yet to be charged with any crime this way is beyond scandalous; words cannot express my disgust.

Get involved and demand justice for the Camp Pendleton 8! Contact politicians, media, or anyone else and make them listen. This whole incident might not even be legit. Get involved and give them a voice, they protect ours, DO NOT LET THEM BE SILENCED!!! SEMPER FI, Sonia USMC 1993- forever
