Not to Congressman Jack Murtha who called them terrorists and killers.
“It [Haditha, Marines] is as bad as Abu Ghraib, if not worse.”(Murtha, May 2006)“… they [Marines] killed innocent civilians in cold blood.”(Murtha, May 17, 2006 at news conference)

The prosecutions of Marines involved in the case have slowly unravelled, however.
Capt McConnell and another officer, Captain Randy Stone, have both had charges of failing to investigate the killing withdrawn.
Two soldiers originally charged with murder in the case have also been cleared, while an investigating officer has recommended that charges against a third soldier are also dropped.
That would leave only one soldier, Staff Sergeant Frank Wuterich, facing murder charges in connection with the deaths.
