'...John Murtha, a highly decorated ex-Marine, who is distressed at the unprovoked attack...'
------
Someone may have already pointed it out but Benedict Arnold was also 'a highly decorated' officer.
And as to Ms. Heard, a quick look at some of past articles confirmed what we could easily guess: Anti-U.S. - Anti-Israel - Anti-Tony Blair - Pro UN - Pro-Arab, etc, etc.
As to her hurt feelings about rude comments, perhaps she should contact Michelle Malkin and learn about liberal emails and conduct!
Excellent suggestion of yours...Ms. "Heard" needing an earful from Ms. Malkin ;-)
