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)

Actually, Diana used that quote in the presser she held at the National Press Club on May 24, 2006. Her speech was built around it.
I just tried to find the speech in its entirety, but alas I failed. Maybe tomorrow.

PLEASE NOTICE THE NICE, POLITE, SLEAZY SUB-HEADLINE IN THE WAPO:"Congressman Discussed Killings Involving Serviceman's Squad in Haditha, Iraq" Did you catch the softening of this sting by the WAPO and what side they are on? Discussed?
CORRECT SUB-HEADLINE:
He called them "cold blooded killers" and "they covered it up"
Bump and Elect Diana Irey
