But Murtha said these guys were guilty....

[TexasR.N.]

An esteemed congressman flat out called these guys guilty; a military court decided otherwise. What a bloated jacka$$. I guess the new liberal motto for our service members is "Guilty until proven innocent".
While a couple of others still face charges, most have been cleared or had the charges reduced. Hopefully, the 2 remaining Marines will be cleared as well.

US Marine acquitted of all charges in Haditha killings

Thanks y'all for your service.

That's good news, those marines got such a raw deal.

Could they sue Mertha for slander?

In my book Mertha rates about knee high to a grasshopper.

I am so happy to hear that!!!!

I never and will never understand how on earth you can trying convict someone who #1 is doing their job and #2 knows that any approaching person may have a bomb on them or a hidden gun.

I have been to Haditha and It aint no place to be complacent...It was very dangerous just trying to get there...The Marines did what was right to there best judgement ...I dont recall hearing them call in for the big guns to level the town.....Loud mouths like that who want to point fingers and bad mouth our troops for protecting our freedoms need to be given a one way ticket to Bagdad....Then they can figure out who's side they are on!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thanks Creig. that CNN link is good news also. Murtha is I'm sad to say, an accurat example of the dishonesty that runs rampent in his party.

I think that he should resign, in leu of charges of treason in attempting to undermine our countrys efferts in Iraq. It's one thing for constuctive criticism, which I believe is a good thing. but to purposely damage our country with a lie to me is TREASON.
