Doubtless "anti-war" people would be much happier with the Red Queen's policy of "Verdict first, then the trial!". :rolleyes:
I find it rather interesting that the military is seen as an objective investigator of itself.

Centuries of historical precedent.

No, they abhor that approach - it was after all the defining characteristic of the pro-US South American governments of the 1970s and 80s.

Actually, as a matter of historical precedence, no one has really complained much about the US military's interpretation of justice, except the accused.
The conviction rate is well over 90%. Satisfied?

Police officers are investigated by their own department's internal affairs division. What's the difference between military investigators checking on the actions of marines or soldiers and internal affairs checking up on cops? Doesn't seem out of the ordinary to me.
it usually happens when you hit puberty

No. If this were an investigation into the Haditha Massacre itself and the direct participatants, maybe. But it's more than that; it's an investigation into whether or not the military attempted to cover it up. It makes very little sense to put the institution accused of covering up the massacre in charge of investigating that cover-up.

Technically, the institution accused of covering up is the Marines.
The Army is doing the investigation.

Fair enough.
