Brit Hume summed up Murtha pretty well, AliVeritas. From your link in Feb, 2007

..... Look, this man [Murtha] has tremendous cachet among House Democrats, but he is not — this guy is long past the day when he had anything but the foggiest awareness of what the heck is going on in the world. And that sound bite is naivete at large, and the man is an absolute fountain of such talk, and the fact that he has ascended to the position he has in the eyes of the Democrats in the House and perhaps Democrats around the country tells you a lot about how much they know or care about what’s really going on over there.

I'd say that nailed it on Murtha.
