Democratic Party Representative Jack Murtha from Pennsylvania lost a civil suit for libel to Marine Staff Sergeant Mark Wuterich who was one of the Marines that Murtha publicly proclaimed after the Haditha shoot out that was then label a massacre.
"They actually went into the houses and killed women and children. And there was about twice as many as originally reported by Time." – Rep. Jack Murtha.
None of the Marines are being prosecuted for murder and two are facing Court Marshal on procedural errors. In essence not one Marine massacred anyone at this incident in Haditha, Iraq.
Do you think Captain Corruption/Doctor Cut-n-Run might consider apologizing to Marines for making such an insidious accusation? I mean Murtha is a veteran, you would think he would man up and publicly apologize.
Murtha has not made even an inkling of remorse for defaming United States Marines for something that was staged by terrorist insurgents for an eagerly waiting Mainstream Media.
Murtha is so determined not to apologize he went through the civil suit brought by Wuterich and lost. Not only has Murtha lost he is appealing on the grounds that his insidious remarks were made while he was an employee of the Federal Government. If Murtha swings an association with the Federal Government he could avoid responsibility for libel for the Federal Government cannot be sued for libel.
My God Murtha is abandoning Servicemen and veterans (of which he is one) for what? Is it because he is Leftist Democrat and is incapable to man up for admitting a mistake.

The Haditha incident and prosecution of Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani relating to charges of poor investigation is going to come down to the word of the Media that sourced from the enemy and the facts reported by Marines at the incident. Who will the Article 32 Hearing listen to: fabricated propaganda by Islamofascists or the Marine witnesses?
Apparently as more and more evidence comes to light, Representative Murtha’s call for a slam dunk Justice is being obscured by the facts. The Thomas More Law Center has found credible evidence that refutes the Times and WaPo who got their information from Iraqis sympathetic to Insurgent Terrorism.
