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)

I hope so. I hope this Marine takes Murtha to the cleaners. I'll donate $40 myself for his legal fees.

Good luckAmen to that.
Wuterich, through his attorneys, has maintained his innocence and has said that the Marines killed two dozen people that day because they were engaged in a firefight with suspected insurgents. He told his lawyers that he and other Marines used grenades and rifles to clear two houses they thought were hostile. Another Marine's detailed account of the incident, obtained by The Post, corroborates Wuterich's version.

"This Marine needs to get in touch with Dana Irey!"
No. Then he will be called a tool of the Republicans.
This has nothing to do with Ms. Irey.
Except she might have a bigger smile.

I urge all of you good people to look very closely at all of the pictures available on the internet: Are John Murtha and Madelaine Albright really the same person???
