Murtha is a corrupt S.O.B., who eats more pork from the defense budget than anyone else in DC, all the while he villifies the troops.
There’s another interesting tidbit here, too.
The prosecution wants to go to Iraq to depose witnesses, because “Erickson said the witnesses have refused to come to the United States to testify in the case.”
So, what kind of a trial would it be if only the prosecution is allowed to cross examine the witnesses? The defense should certainly not permit them to do that. It would not be enough for the defense to depose the witnesses; they need to be able to cross examine them in front of the jury.
I suspect these “witnesses” don’t want to come to the U.S. to give their stories because they are afraid what will happen when they are caught lying. We’ve seen plenty of those kinds of witnesses in Iraq and for that matter all over the Muslim world. Allah instructs them to lie; it’s right in the Koran. Mohammed lied several times under oath, and was proud of himself for doing it.
Murtha has an EMPIRE built in his district with his brother getting MILLIONS and MILLIONS of OUR DOLLARS!!
