Haditha Video Doctored by Investigators

It seems as if the Dukle Rape Case may not be unique in terms of prosecutorial misconduct.
A video taped from a Scan Eagle unmanned aerial vehicle – purported to show the action that took place in Haditha when 24 Iraqi civilians and insurgents were killed – was heavily edited by government investigators, a NewsMax investigation reveals.

The reason, according to an inside source: to avoid showing anything that exonerates the Marines who were accused of murdering the victims.
[...]
The deliberate editing of the video to show the defendants in the worst possible light, the Marine intelligence expert told NewsMax, “should have the defense screaming prosecutorial and NCIS misconduct.”

The indications are that this was done by people who should be providing _everything_ to defend these marines. This makes me incredibly angry - those responsible for this should be tried and convicted of subverting justice, and if they are members of the military, they should be dishonorably discharged _after_ their jail terms. This is right up there with Nifong.
