Um, it WAS his point. May not have been yours, but I didn't ask you the question.

Doesn't matter:

United States Code, U.S. Criminal Code

§ 4. Misprision of felony

Whoever, having knowledge of the actual commission of a felony cognizable by a court of the United States, conceals and does not as soon as possible make known the same to some judge or other person in civil or military authority under the United States, shall be fined under this title or imprisoned not more than three years, or both.

Your ability to cut-and-paste statutes is impressive. But if you think that Murtha is guilty of a crime under one of those statutes, you've got quite a bit more reading and studying to do.
