Newsmax apparently has some other sources within the military intelligence community who are backing the story given by Sgt Laughner:
According to NewsMax’s Marine intelligence sources, the intelligence unit Marines, which included Laughner, arrived within 30 minutes of the incident. Our sources said the unit reported that they were deeply impressed with the attitude and professionalism of the Kilo company squad and believed that it makes absolutely no sense that they could have maintained their composure and conducted themselves so professionally by the time Laughner’s unit arrived if they had been in a rage and conducting a massacre only minutes before.
In recent days, The New York Times, The Associated Press, and The Post all carried stories quoting the usual unnamed sources in the Pentagon as saying that parts of a video allegedly taken by a Unmanned Aerial Vehicle (UAV) had disappeared, that pages of a logbook dealing with the actions on that day were missing, and that the report of the action attributed the civilian deaths only to the IED explosion.
None of this is accurate.
NewsMax’s sources say there was no video taken from the UAV, only photos. These were included in an after-action report sent to regimental and division headquarters the night of the incident. That report, a Powerpoint presentation, contained a detailed account (with the UAV photos) of the events of that day. It told the whole story of the Haditha incident and was so complete that the superior officers, including Lt. Col. Jeffrey R. Chessani, 3rd Battalion commander, rightly concluded that the Marines had acted appropriately.
[…]As far as the so-called missing pages of the logbook are concerned, Staff Sgt. Frank D. Wuterich has told the media that the logbooks were merely records of radio transmissions. NewsMax can report, however, that “rolls and rolls” of the yellow-slip message papers on which the radio operator writes all transmissions were turned over to investigators, and they reflect the tone and exact times of Kilo company reports of that morning.
Nothing really new in this information other then the fact that there was no video from the UAV, just photo’s. The information does indeed give added weight to Sgt. Laughner’s testimony but as with all anonymous sources I will withhold judgement until the actual investigation is released.

This is no less than treason. A betrayal of our Patriots who are literally dying for we Americans and our Republic.
The President MUST protect these innocent Marines from the lynch mob. It is HIS sworn duty to do so. He must root out the lying leakers in the Pentagon and prosecute them to the fullest extent. He must call down John Murtha for betraying his brother Marines for political gain, and betraying the nation at large. Anything less, and Mr. Bush should resign and give Mr. Cheney the chance to defend our Patriots from not only foreign terrorists, but from domestic enemies as well.
