MATTHEWS: Draw us a picture of what happened in Haditha.
MURTHA: Well I'll tell you exactly what happened. One Marine was killed and the Marines just said we're gonna take care...we don't know who the enemy is, the pressure was too much on them, so they went into houses and actually killed civilians and...I...
MATTHEWS: Was this My Lai? When you say cold blood Congressman, a lot of people think you're basically saying you've got some civilians sitting in a room or out in a field and they're executed on purpose...
MURTHA: That's exactly what happened.
MATTHEWS: ...not because any of the Marines are scared or anybody is scared...
MURTHA: ...this was not an action...this was not...first they tried to say it was an IED, there was no IED involved in this. This was troops, they were so stressed out, they went into houses and killed children, women and children. 24 people they killed. Now this is the kind of stress they are under.

Just had to post that little bit of sarcasm. Thought it would be interesting if there were actually people here on FR who thought Murtha was an a-okay guy, and would respond to the post...
To: Sisku Hanne; Valin
I think the confusion here is Valin was responding to my words ("... what are you going to do about it?") from the original post, but V simply neglected to put them in italics. So to Sisku Hanne those appeared to be Valin's words.
Okay, group hug! ((( )))
