Woodward said Abizaid met with Murtha, question.

Is it possible that Abizaid is the one who passed along the information about the marines that are accused of killing the civilians in that raid in Haditha?

1. If he did, it'd expose him to a fat civil suit, I think.

Based on what I've heard anyway.

2. "This" close is reality

3. I think Abizaid and Murtha were/are tight. I know Murtha has

been getting a lot of info from men in the field. Why not Abizaid? I'd say it's a good guess.

4. Murtha is well networked with our military in Iraq

I would entertain the idea that Abizaid put the buzz in Murtha's ear, and Murtha picked up the telephone to talk to 'his' men on the ground to confirm the story.
