2008
- Gen James N. Mattis testified during a hearing at Camp Pendleton that he neither sought nor received advice from an assistant whose counsel would have tainted the military’s case against troops connected to the killing of Iraqi civilians in Haditha, Iraq. Gen Mattis denied any conflict of interests in his decision to send LtCol Jeffery Chessani to court-martial for failing to properly investigate or report the Haditha incident. The military judge in charge later determined Gen Mattis was improperly influenced and dismissed all charges against LtCol Chessani on 17 June.
