It's also worth noting that House Armed Services Committee Chairman Duncan Hunter, who got the same insider briefing given to Murtha, says the "in cold blood" allegations are all wet.

I suspect Murtha has slipped a gear. His comments are totally irrational.

Or so I have been told by an unidentified source.

You're right. Murtha may have slipped a gear.

But the MSM will quote him on almost anything because they view him as key to damagin and ending the war effort.

For lack of a better phrase, he is their Great White Hope. They will hang on everything he says and does.
