James Conway is deciding what to do with the dereliction of duty case against Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, the Camp Pendleton officer accused of failing to order a full-scale investigation into the slayings of two dozen Iraqi civilians in the city of Haditha in 2005.<\/p>\n<p>Conway got the case in late May, after the Marine Corps gave up its appeal of a military judge&#8217;s ruling that unlawful command influence illegally tainted the case against Chessani.<\/p>\n<p>The Marine Corps appealed that ruling on two occasions and was considering a third appeal before deciding to let Conway determine the next move in the Chessani saga.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;He (Conway) will consider the matter carefully,&#8221; Maj. David Nevers at the Marine Corps&#8217; Pentagon headquarters said, adding there no was firm date for when Conway would announce his decision.<\/p>\n<p>Conway&#8217;s options include dropping the case entirely or appointing a new convening authority to consider whether a new investigation should be ordered. He also can pursue a non-criminal administrative action against Chessani, who commanded the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment, at Haditha when the civilians were slain by Marines after a roadside bombing.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>So what the hell is the problem there Jimmy-Boy?<\/p>\n<p>Anything short of dropping the case entirely will expose you as a slimy politician who cares more about covering Pete Pace\u2019s ass than you care about saving a Marine officer\u2019s life.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Apparently the Commandant of the Marine Corps is wrestling with a heavy decision.
