Six months ago a congressman said that the Marines of Kilo Company were "cold blooded killers". There was "no doubt about it". Murtha repeated the charge, unchallenged, on many TV shows and in print.
Six months later, no charges have been filed, though "anonymous sources" in the DOD continue to tell sources such as NPR that charges are "coming soon".
So the parents are speaking out because they're sick of their son being used as a political pinata. They can speak as authorities on that subject.
We all know what Murtha is ... perhaps that is why NO charges have been made. Either they charge him or leave him alone - that's serving justice.
Such posts are not pleasant to read obviously, but thanks for the update.
