Sanick Dela Cruz and Sgt. Humberto Mendoza \u2013 in exchange for their testimony at the trial of former Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, the squad leader. Wuterich was the lone Marine convicted in the shooting of unarmed Iraqis in the town of Haditha after a roadside bomb exploded, killing one Marine and wounding two others. <\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>The Navy ought to take a look at the prosecutors, too, and see if there were any connections to a certain deceased bag of shit congressman. Or any political pressure from anyone who sought to make this their standard for the war against terror and the troops fighting that war.
