What a disgrace to the Marine Corps.
He is even disgraceful to congress standards, and that takes some doin'.

#4 On the floor of the House or Senate they have a "Debate Clause" that keeps them from lawsuits.

I believe the "Honorable" Jack "ABSCAM: At this time" Murtha made his comments on television. Strictly speaking, I don't think they are protected. Interesting Constitutional question, that.

#6 He has an out so far in that not all those charged in the Haditha incident have had charges dropped yet. It looks from this that the odds are good that they will be - that will be the time to chase down Murtha.

#7 Murtha is a slovenly, lying, self-serving, ABSCAMing, ear-marking, piss porr excuse for a man let alone a Marine. I hope they go after him and the millions he has funneled to his brother like they are going after Senator Ted.
