Judge, Jury and Executioner? Or Kangaroo Court presider?

We've all heard about "Captain Kangaroo"Jihad Johnny Murtha's accusations and how words have a way of travelling around the world to aid those who need them the most. We also know that the omniscient Congressman from Pennsylvania's 12th CD knew all the facts, even though he admitted to not reading the reports of the Haditha incident prior to opening his grand-canyon-sized pie hole.

Fellow blogger at Murtha Must Go, Gary Gross, has some interesting information that must have somehow escaped the omniscient John Murtha's attention:
In addition to video from the drone, investigators have records of radio message traffic between the Marines and a command center, said military defense lawyers who have discussed the investigation with Marines who were at Haditha but who have not yet been formally retained by them.
"There's a ton of information that isn't out there yet," said one lawyer, who, like the others, would speak only on the condition of anonymity because a potential client has not been charged. The radio message traffic, he said, will provide a different view of the incident than has been presented by Rep. John P. Murtha (D-PA) and other members of Congress. For example, he said, contrary to Murtha's account, it will show that the Marines came under small-arms fire after the roadside explosion.
Perhaps Jack Murtha is slipping in his old age, because his omniscient knowledge tells us:
“There was no firefight. There was no [bomb] that killed those innocent people,” Murtha explained, adding there were “about twice as many” Iraqis killed than Time had reported.
But ol' Jihad Johnny somehow knew all the facts before reading the report, right?

He's convinced of it.

As are his imaginary yet-to-be named military commanders with whom he is conversing, I'm sure.
