Someone needs to get in touch with his lawyer and tell him there is a difference between an “official duty” and a “legislative function”. Murtha has immunity only for legislative functions; and speaking to the press is not one of them.

Sen. Proxmire was successfully sued for defamation for a newsletter he sent to constituents. The only difference in the cases is that Murtha apparently did not mention any specific names. In my view, that is the real problem.

That, my dear, is specifically and exactly why I said a class action lawsuit of a battalion of Marines is in order.

But I come from a different mindset.

I don't see it as a problem.
