CNSNews.com) - The parents of a U.S. Marine accused of killing three Iraqis execution-style in Haditha in late 2005 said Thursday they would ask Congress to censure Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) for saying that the Marines "overreacted" during the incident and killed civilians "in cold blood."
"It's too late for an apology," Darryl Sharratt of Canonsburg, Pa., told Cybercast News Service after the hearing officer in the case, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, released an 18-page report recommending that all charges against Sharratt's son, Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, be dismissed because his actions "were in accord with the rules of engagement and use of force."

It’s too early and will fall flat because of that reason.

I want him to resign in disgrace broken by his own lies and political posturing but it is still too soon to bring this sort of pressure.

God have mercy upon me for saying this but right now it is the family of one lowly Lance Corporal against a cornerstone of the Democrats in the house, we need the families of all these Marines raising their voices as one to force the issue.
