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)

A Congress Critter's Free speech rights are guaranteed on the House Floor.......where other Congress Critters can argue with him..
Congress Critters are subject to the "little man's" laws when OFF the floor......and the "injured" are allowed a remedy..
Make a false charge ...false accusation....Slander... Defame....Rape.....Murder ------ it's their ass on the line...Unless of course you're a Kennedy, Clinton or any other more equal entity....
I hope this Marine ruins Murtha's "golden years" and brings his true unsavory history and character into FULL FOCUS...
Fry Murtha.
Semper Fi
Get the rope. I'll tie the knot.
I think someone has a Haditha ping list, when I remember who it is, I'll ping you.
Either way, I'll try to keep you pinged myself.
Ok, that picture has now officially driven me into the kitchen. To toast or not to toast, that is the question. To toast, of course! Be back after the duration of making and eating samich. Am drooling at the thought.
Joining you in a happy dance. :-)
MATTHEWS: Draw us a picture of what happened in Haditha.
MURTHA: Well I'll tell you exactly what happened. One Marine was killed and the Marines just said we're gonna take care...we don't know who the enemy is, the pressure was too much on them, so they went into houses and actually killed civilians and...I...
MATTHEWS: Was this My Lai? When you say cold blood Congressman, a lot of people think you're basically saying you've got some civilians sitting in a room or out in a field and they're executed on purpose...
MURTHA: That's exactly what happened.
MATTHEWS: ...not because any of the Marines are scared or anybody is scared...
MURTHA: ...this was not an action...this was not...first they tried to say it was an IED, there was no IED involved in this. This was troops, they were so stressed out, they went into houses and killed children, women and children. 24 people they killed. Now this is the kind of stress they are under. Listen, I don't excuse it, but I understand what's happening and the responsibility goes right to the top. This is something that should not have happened, that should have been investigated, they've already relieved three commanding officers...but this is the kind of stuff...stress is going to cause these kind of things. That's why I'm so upset about it.
MATTHEWS: Congressman, I just want to read something from the Marine Corps and then you can continue. The Marine Corps told us today that they're not going to comment today because the investigation is still ongoing. So they're investigating...
Don't believe the transcript? Watch the video here......

Would you like to be added to the IREY/murtha ping list?

This is why Turban Dirtbin got away with calling our troops nazis, pol pot etc. He was smart...he did it from the well of the SINate!
Why waste a good piece of rope?
Send him to Abu Ghraib with his jihadi buddies.
Some days are better for smiles than others!!!
