While an investigation may be warranted, I think the timing is bad. Murtha is a Marine and has served his country, no doubt. BUT - he is wrong, and has been wrong on Iraq for a while.

Good! The Dems have taken decency for weakness for 5 yrs now and have done nothing but become more and more evil and more and more partisan. Time to change the scenario.

They need to investigate the poor man's mental health status. He makes no sense.

Finally. The Democrats are going for the throat and they think the law doesn't apply to them. I'm very happy to see a proper action by the
majority.
The timing is perfect. We have documented here nearly a decade of crimes by the Democrats in real-time. They have been getting away with this kind of thing constantly. They have escalated to political prosecutions of high-ranking members of both the executive and the legislative branch, and the effective equivalent in the judiciary's confirmation circus for far longer.
Now we have another product of Vietnam Derangement Syndrome proposing that we satisfy our enemy's current top objective - pull out of Iraq - on the back of a years-long propaganda campaign intended from the beginning to produce just this particular bit of treason. This is as good a moment to fight back as there will ever be.

I agree with you about the timing, but considering what the Democrats have been doing to Tom Delay and the POTUS, I say it's time to talke the gloves off and expose every crooked Democrat we find

"While an investigation may be warranted, I think the timing is bad. Murtha is a Marine and has served his country, no doubt."
Screw this "Marine." Just because you went through it when you were younger does not give you a lifelong license to act like an asshat, and be disloyal to the President, and, in effect, disloyal to all the current armed forces. Kerry was in the military too, you know.
As for this "steering" of Pentagon contracts to firms and people he knows...he just lost any shred of "honor" he might have convinced me he had. It's all about the money and/or the politics.
Semper screw Murtha.

When the DIMs start whining bout this, republicans should (but won't) point out the number of conservative non profits that were audited by Clinton's IRS. And the left wing ones that weren't.

It occurs to me that Murtha may have known the lid was about to blow off his crimes, so he changed sides to get media favor.
To: pittsburgh gop guy; ncountylee
I think the time line is reversed. This probe was already underway, I bet, before Murtha came up with his pull-out ploy.

I think the right time is now.
If they wait for a more appropriate time, they'll wind up waiting forever--as usual.
I think it's time to investigate Nancy Pelosi for campaign finance fraud, too.

Murta was also snagged in the ABSCAM scandal (no files charged) 25 years ago.
Murtha was the only congressman involved in the complex case to emerge without facing criminal charges. He declared he was innocent, saying he had "met with two men who I believed had a substantial line of credit that could provide up to 1,000 jobs for the district. I broke no law. I took no money." A grand jury and the House ethics panel cleared Murtha of any wrongdoing.
