I'm not trying to protect anything. I don't believe one's service record is off limits when that person is in or seeking public office. What I'm saying is that maybe it's just a feeling I have but this subject of his service record came up because of an article on CNS and a supposedly public letter to Murtha by a friend of his that dates back to 2002 or thereabouts.

This seems awful 'loose' and questionable material to be basing an investigation on. And without him signing a 180 and releasing his records I don't think anything short of a purposeful challenge to him by his service 'buddies' will carry much, if any weight.

That's why I believe he's more open to the corruption charges and without further evidence believe that would be a preferable route. I would love to see him taken down as much as the next Freeper, I just don't want it to come back and haunt us.

Actually, the CNS article came out AFTER it was brought up on FR on a Code Pink article.

Murtha is the one that keeps bringing up his service record.
