Marine Names Murtha in Defamation Suit
Washington Post ^ | August 2, 2006 | Josh White

Posted on 08/01/2006 9:05:50 PM PDT by Velveeta

A Marine Corps staff sergeant who led the squad accused of killing two dozen civilians in Haditha, Iraq, will file a lawsuit today in federal court in Washington claiming that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) defamed him when the congressman made public comments about the incident earlier this year.

Attorneys for Frank D. Wuterich, 26, argue in court papers that Murtha tarnished the Marine's reputation by telling news organizations in May that the Marine unit cracked after a roadside bomb killed one of its members and that the troops "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." Murtha also said repeatedly that the incident was covered up. (snipped)

Fantastic!! Too bad some skiff liberal judge will dismiss it because it's more important for him/her to hear arguments and award more homo "rights".

Sounds like defamatio to me.

Hey Murtha... now you get a chance to prove it.

Yeah, but that can be appealed, and if necessary, go all the way up to the Supremes. This will be fun.

Outstanding! Maybe it will keep others from shooting off their mouths when they have NO evidence!

Of course some will say that this kind of suit will have a 'chilling effect' on free speech. I say, "Bring on the ice"!!

75% of the people in the US stand ignorant of the acts of Murtha. The other 25% could Give A. S.
