...Diana Irey and a busload of supporters headed to D.C. to demand Murtha apologize to Marines for recently accusing some of them of being cold-blooded killers.
...
"Mr. Murtha's comments, I believe, were irresponsible and they put our men and women serving overseas in greater danger," Irey said.
Murtha recently said several Marines killed at least 15 Iraqi civilians in cold blood last November and said action should be taken.
While the U.S. military doesn't dispute the congressman's claim, Irey said Murtha is in the wrong.
"Being a former Marine himself, he should know they have a process in place to take care of situation that may have happened that should not have happened," Irey said.
"By coming out and calling them 'cold-blooded killers,' he's already tainted the minds and possible jury of those who will be hearing these allegations."
Irey's visit to Washington, D.C., comes on the heels of Murtha receiving the John F. Kennedy Profile in Courage Award for speaking out against the war.
Irey said she believes many eye the Kennedy family with suspicions and said she's never heard anything positive about the award.
Stay with Channel 6 News Wednesday evening as we cover this story from Washington, D.C. We will bring you more details on Irey's comments, as well as Murtha's response.

Yes he is. After reading the article you linked, I had to wait a while to think about it and calm down.
He now adds gasoline to the fire without really knowing what happened or the final results of either investigation all the while trashing our brave fighting men.
He's a low class person.
Thanks much for your support! This may be reaching you second or third hand, but the Ireys truly seemed grateful for all the support (emotional and financial) from FReepers and other concerned citizens.
Of course we missed you, but you more than do your share. :-)
Not yet, unfortunately. But I'm looking forward to an opportunity to lend some kind of support in person!
Googled "Murtha's comments on Marines".
Results? 97,400 hits. (0.48 seconds)
How many of those do you suppose are compliments toward the 180,000 active duty Marines?
His odds are roughly one hit for every two Marines.
Better than ....shoot, who was that other ex-Marine?
Her husband, who is now watching this site, just loves it when you guys drool over his lovely wife. ;*)
I wish them both the best! And I hope she wins! She MUST win!
And since the hubby is taking a peek, maybe he'll like this as a poster and slogan...
That is just wrong ..... in sooooo many ways.
ROTFLOL!!! Awesome! Are you the one that posted the side by side last night?
Mr. Irey was telling about seeing the side by side last night and took it to Diana saying you have got to see this. He loved the handy work!
I wish I was there . Feeling a little better.
Still not up to snuff.
Did anyone get Pic's? Thanks for the Ping.
[Mrs T]
you are too kind.
Thanks again for being there.
[Mrs T]
Great idea!!
Mr. Irey was talking about the Irey vs. Sheehan comparison (although I think it was one photo on top of the other). And I had a side-by-side one of her and Murtha this morning on the "hot or not" thread.
No, I promptly left this morning leaving the digital camera in the kitchen. [smacking forehead!]
LOL ;>O .
Thanks any way.
[Mrs T]
No one I know did. I'm sure someone from the campaign was taking taking pics.....right guys???
If so, perhaps you could post a couple here for al to see!
I didn't do a side by side last night. This is my first. I have before posted a single picture with "Vote Republican, Keep America Beautiful!"
I am glad her husband is watching Free Republic. They'll definitely see a lot of support from across America.
Oh yeah...he mentioned that thread by name. LOL
"They'll definitely see a lot of support from across America."
They have seen it and are grateful for it!
