Justice: The latest Haditha Marine to be exonerated is considering suing Rep. John Murtha for calling him a cold-blooded killer. Will Barack Obama be a character witness for saying Murtha knows his stuff? (snipHaditha became an issue, and a crime scene, after McGurk's fallacious and dishonest March 27, 2006, story that the Marines were guilty of "massacring innocent civilians." The story was based on false evidence provided by a known insurgent propagandist.

It took on added life after Murtha publicly said "there was no firefight" and the Marines at Haditha "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." Murtha said that their officers "covered it up" and the cover-up went "right up the chain of command."

Murtha explained that his public charges were made after receiving information from the highest levels of the Marine Command. A motion to compel the deposition of Murtha was made by Chessani's defense team, but Murtha never was forced to answer the question of to whom he talked or whether he made the whole thing up.... )

Nurtha was beneath contempt as we all know. But now he soon will be beneath ground level. His recompense for his sins die with him so far as he might pay, but not our remembrance.

As Shakespeare put it “The evil that men do lives after them”

CHRIS MATTHEWS, HOST: Let me ask you Mr. Murtha to give us some details about that. Draw us a picture of what happened at Haditha.

REP. JOHN “JACK” MURTHA: Well, I’ll tell you exactly what happened. One Marine was killed and the Marines just said we’re going to take care – we don’t know who the enemy is, the pressure was too much on them, so they went into houses and they actually killed civilians. And, and –

MATTHEWS:—was this My Lai? Was this a case of – when you say cold blood Congressman, a lot of people think you’re basically saying you got some civilians sitting in a room around a field and they’re executed.

MURTHA: That’s exactly it.

My son was at a reception ,business related. Murtha walked toward his group to shake hands. My son turned his back on Murtha and walked away. My Mother said if you can’t say something nice about someone don’t say anything at all...so I guess I don’t have anything else to say.

I have no use for men (politicians) like Murtha. I really hope that God has a “special place” for politicians like Murtha and Edward Kennedy!

Murtha wasn't a Senator.
