Judge dismisses all charges in Blackwater shooting

[M4arc]

This is very good news! Congratulations to those men and I hope they're able to enjoy the New Year celebrations.

What about Jeremy P. Ridgeway? Will they still try and get him to testify against the other or is that completely off the table now?

Great news!

FREAKING SWEET! As a member of the defense bar I will accept all the credit!

A fine way for those men and their families to bring in the new year.

Now if only all their legal bills will magically go away as well.......

Great news, just when I thought there was no justice in this world. I hope this makes it to the main stream media and Erik Prince and his company (Blackwater) gets exonerated. Still praying for our SEAL's and their rescue from the Political Correctness Cops. Hard to believe our country has become "what's right is wrong and what's wrong is right". Maybe Billy Shakespeare's dream will come true in my lifetime.

I was just thinking, Ridgeway must feel like an idiot upon hearing this news.

About effen time!! This should have been a non starter.....the same with the SEAL team that is being court martialed.......that made nat'l news so I think it will get shit canned as well.

the only problem is that you have in essence erased an effective team. Their morale is damgaged and it's good adds that they will all leave the military....once something like gets into your file you're fuked.

This was great news to read this afternoon. A buddy of mine whom I served with in Iraq during our time in the Corps. was one of those thrown under the bus in this case. I spoke with him earlier and it was great to hear how the weight has been lifted off his shoulders and he can resume is normal life. These guys have been provided a well deserved, fresh beginning to 2010.

It is 3 Frogs, not a Team. Also, I know one of them as well. He spent most of his young life working to become a SEAL and when I was stationed with he was a GM2 on his way to BUD/s. I am pretty sure he's a lifer.
