The charges against him had been reduced to involuntary manslaughter, reckless endangerment and aggravated assault for what prosecutors said was his role in shooting a group of unarmed women and children.

It’s only seven paragraphs longm, ‘taint worth using to wipe any old dog’s butt with, but I just had to post it.

I spoke with Congressman Murtha’s staff on Friday regarding when he was going to apologize for slandering these Marines. His staff’s response, same as it always is, was Congressman Murtha has no intention of making any apology to anyone.

I would sure LOVE to see charges filed against Murtha. The guy is a living example of what pond scum is.

“Over a period of hours, marines assaulted four Iraqi homes, killing 24 people, almost all unarmed.”

Aside from the fact that the NYT just can't bring themselves to capitalize the letter “M” when writing about United States Marines;
interesting that they falsely accused Marines of “killing 24 people, almost all unarmed.” As I've been saying since these Marines were first accused of killing these people, in all likelihood, these people were probably killed in crossfire and/or by the “bad guys” before the “bugged out.”

In any case, I don't know about anyone else but if it were me who the Times accused of “killing” anyone, I would SUE THE NYT TO HELL AND BACK! And by the time I got done with them, the paper would be called the Kelly New York Times!

Semper Fi,

I’m betting that you would change the name to “The New MARINE CORPS GAZETTE”.... :-)

SEMPER FI, Mack!

I just emailed the managing editor of the NYT and informed him that they might want to print a retraction before any of the “Haditha” Marines retain an attorney. Libel can be an expensive proposition. And the Old Gray Lady is not exactly experiencing the best of financial Times.(pun intended) LOL

I trust that you used the simplist terms possible with large block letters. You wouldn’t want to be accused of not being clear, consise and to the point.

” I trust that you used the simplist terms possible with large block letters. You wouldn’t want to be accused of not being clear, consise and to the point.”

Yep, and I even spelled all the words like “concise” and “simplest” correctly. LOL

The road to Hell is paved with no intentions, isn’t it?

If you want to take up a colection for the Hadetha Marines to sue the ass off the times, or Murtha for that matter,I’d rather give there than the GOP.

What do you expect from an entrail wrap that has referred to President Bush as Mr. Bush-from day one.

[Apercu]

An insult to pond scum, which is at least a beneficial form of algae - Murtha is of no known benefit to anyone or anything.
