I agree that the commandant at that time, Gen Hagee, should be questioned. But what is Murtha really saying the commandant told him? That it was a “serious incident”? Well, that’s obvious.
If Gen Hagee never told Murtha it was murder, then Murtha has absolutely no grounds to cite military officials as his source.
I hadn’t noticed before, but do all of the pics of Murtha place him in his office while comitting his assault on the marines? I thought I had seen some where he was a yapping head guest - in person, in the studio - when he made some of his claims, but could be wrong.
