>>>>Don't' get me wrong; I'm all for going after Murtha if it can be proven beyond a doubt. However, I think he's more vulnerable on his ethics/corruption problems since being in office, would have a lot more jail time thereby, and what would such an investigation do to Pelosi's Republican corruption allegations?

Why do these statements, which I'm seeing on these threads by others also, give me the impression that the service record is off limits to hide more? Who is being protected here?

Good Question

My "hunch", and that's all it is,
is that certain FReepers are also
PROFESSIONL GOP fund raisers
and groups like the Swift Boat Vets
PERSONALLY cost them money and they don't
want anymore groups like them.

I'm not trying to protect anything. I don't believe one's service record is off limits when that person is in or seeking public office. What I'm saying is that maybe it's just a feeling I have but this subject of his service record came up because of an article on CNS and a supposedly public letter to Murtha by a friend of his that dates back to 2002 or thereabouts.

This seems awful 'loose' and questionable material to be basing an investigation on. And without him signing a 180 and releasing his records I don't think anything short of a purposeful challenge to him by his service 'buddies' will carry much, if any weight.

That's why I believe he's more open to the corruption charges and without further evidence believe that would be a preferable route. I would love to see him taken down as much as the next Freeper, I just don't want it to come back and haunt us.
