My opinion of him being slime is reinforced.
I don't think we should pursue this. Murtha is not running for higher office, he is elderly and he is doing more damage every time he opens his mouth than anything we can do to him.
Also, there was evidence on another thread that the conservatives are being set up in this matter.
Murtha, like Cindy Sheehan, doesn't need his old friends. He's got new ones:

See post #4.
Oh what atangled web we weave....!
I know all that. My post stands.
Which makes it a 'he said/he said' situation. Without documentary evidence or further corroboration to cast doubt on Murtha's situation, it doesn't appear there is anything further to pursue in this matter at the present time.
Obviously, no one is pursuing it...the letter was written in 2002.

Murtha's War Hero Status Called Into Question

PX warriors are frauds at best. Liars.
To allow a liar to hold a position of public trust in the Congress of the United States is a travesty.
Kerry and Murtha. Birds of a feather using embellished military awards to gain political advantage.
Throw the bums out!
But Peach, the man is causing more Purple Hearts to be awarded. I wish it was as simple as "just politics".
There have been a minimum of 3-5 threads per day for the last week about this matter; a lot of people ARE pursuing it.
I'll give you those 16 seconds.
; )
Run away! Run away!
I agree - there is no profit in pursuing this. Just let it fester like the bitter gangrenous sore that it is. No reason for us to jump into the poop-pile.
I didn't see the other thread, but that was my first thought--setup, like the old wife-beating setup from a past election we all remember. We should just let this one go. He may well have served bravely once, but he's a complete disgrace now. Every time he opens his mouth lately, he proves it. The Purple Hearts? They don't matter at this point.
Obviously Murtha went to the gigilo school of faking it!
"Also, there was evidence on another thread that the conservatives are being set up in this matter."
Proof? The Source of this evidence?
I guess you must have missed the overwhelming support that FR Viet Nam Vets had to say about going ahead with this
AND demanding murtha release ALL his military records.
Here's the thread
