#1 Piss on John Murtha and Time. That's ABSCAM Murtha, the whore for DOD contractors.

#2 Doesn't matter how much evidence emerges to absolve the Marines - Murtha and his ilk have already cemeted the "fact" that the Marines were murderers in international minds.

#3 and the soldiers' accounts of what happened are backed up by videotape shot by an ultralight vehicle

Very good. And yet another major blow to the reputation of the press and the anti-War on Terror movement.

#4 Only if the word gets out, I'm afraid, tw. Lots of people have seen the TIME cover and the TV reports. How many retractions will they see - and of similar impact??

#6 Sounds like Time has some s'plainin' to do.

This also is defamation and is actionable in civil courts.

#7 Can the Narines in question sue Murtha in civil court for slander and liable?

I guess its too much to ask that the senate grow a backbone and censor Mr Murtha and kick his sorry treasonous excuse for a senator out on his ass.

#8 (1) I don't think the Marines are guilty and I certainly would give them the benefit of the doubt until someone proves them guilty.

(2) I would not have cared if Haditha was leveled by repeated B-52 strikes since it was a bastion of enemy activity and thus behind enemy lines (as were Berlin and Hanoi in previous wars) as this would have put less of our folks into the line of fire and sent a really strong message to other villages and towns thinking of lining up on the side of the bad guys.

"I guess its too much to ask that the senate grow a backbone and censor Mr Murtha and kick his sorry treasonous excuse for a senator out on his ass."

Well...considering that he is not a Senator, but a Congressman, it might be better if the House of Representatives performed the things you mention.

On that same note, would it be too much to ask of posters to do a little homework, and know the difference between a Senator and a Congressman?

Just sayin'.

I know the difference between a contributing poster and a pedantic ass.

You are not the former.
