Evidently, Pelosi has something really nasty on Murtha. She is going to appoint people she can control and will do whatever she tells them to do. Ain't blackmail a bitch...

She has that sniveling, caniving evil rat look to her. Figures she'd be the type to blackmail.

This entire process of one person essentially appointing all the committees makes you wonder why we still think of our government as a Republic.

How are the people represented when Pelosi (or any Speaker) essentially handpicks who will do what ?

I'd be happier if all committee members (and Speaker) were chosen by lottery. We might not get the "expertise" some are supposed to have on a particular issue, but they'd be a more representative sample of the House. It's the strategy we use for picking juries, it ought to be good enough for committees in Congress.
