WTF? Sharratt couldn't start any suit until his case slowly worked it's way through the justice system and he was cleared, which was recently. So that's the timing issue. Things would have worked out better for Murtha if the case kept going on until after the election but that's life. Maybe Murtha should have thrown more mud because that helped drag the case out as long as it did.
I wish reporters would at least try and pretend to work on a story.
Murtha was too stupid to realize that things said on TV news shows are not under the same protection as statements made on the House/Senate Floors. I guess he'll learn the hard way.
I agree with you,HGC. There is a pro-Murtha agenda being attempted in the article. The refreshing thing is, local readers of the paper aren’t fooled. Below I’ve posted the comments they posted below the article on the papers website:

Sharratt VS Murtha = GOOD! : 9/26/2008
Good for you, Justin. We need an address to send contributions, please. Now, how about asking Murtha about that last soldier whose pursuit of justice and being released is being waylaid until AFTER the election? These soldiers stand in our stead, put their lives on the line and THIS is what they have to go through? Dispicable.
A Veteran Who Is VERY Disgusted
JOKE : 9/26/2008
Noah Geary is a Republican hack who fancies himself a political player, and this garbage lawsuit is proof. This is just two guys looking to turn themselves into celebrities; he got his “justice” when he was exonerated of the charges. Geary should be ashamed of this “wrapping myself in the flag” stunt, but with his arrogance, I’m sure that will never happen.
Noah Geary = Publicity Wh0re
Murtha Sells Out Country : 9/26/2008
This piece crap congressman, for the sake of political power, degrades an innocent serviceman and sells out his country. There are quite a few Democrats who would sell out their country in favor of political power. I hope Murtha gets what he deserves.

Murtha knows not Semper Fi : 9/26/2008
Having served with the United States Marines for over 3 years as a member of the United States Navy let me start by saying that there is no military organization finer than the Marines. Mr. Murtha should be ceremoniously stripped of the title of Marine. The time I spent serving with the nations finest was indeed the pinacle of my 10 year career. Mr. Murthas comments were irresponsible and purely made for political gain. To not offer an apology just goes to show you how pigheaded this unpatriotic politician actually is. Please provide us with contact information so that we may aid in costs of any legal representation. Thank you for your exemplary service.
