Scott Pelley is an idiot...as are most journalists...they really think they are smarter than the rest of us. Simple question to Pelley....what would you have done in similar situation. You can tell that murtha was a REMF....with his comments. Phoney to the bone. In a combat situation Monday morning quarterbacking is left to the REMF's and journalists...
REMF?

“We are about to show you bread lines in America that you may find hard to believe. With the recession there has been a sudden leap in the number of people on emergency food assistance. The lines we found looked like they’d been taken from the pages of the Great Depression. It’s not just the unemployed. We found plenty of people working full-time, but still not able to earn enough to keep hunger out of the house. If you think you have a good idea of who’s hungry in America today, come join the line. You’d never guess who you’d meet there....Almost half the people fed by these lines are kids. The Agriculture Department figures one out of six children in America faces hunger; that’s more than 12 million kids. Nationwide, children have the highest poverty rate. Preschoolers come here with their parents and play in boxes as empty as the day’s want ads.”
