A Marine Corps staff sergeant who led the squad accused of killing two dozen civilians in Haditha, Iraq, will file a lawsuit today in federal court in Washington claiming that Rep. John P. Murtha (D-Pa.) defamed him when the congressman made public comments about the incident earlier this year.
Attorneys for Frank D. Wuterich, 26, argue in court papers that Murtha tarnished the Marine's reputation by telling news organizations in May that the Marine unit cracked after a roadside bomb killed one of its members and that the troops "killed innocent civilians in cold blood." Murtha also said repeatedly that the incident was covered up. (snipped)

Actually it's getting pretty good coverage......Bill O'R & H & C have covered it. I also heard it on my local radio news.

Oh man, this is beootiful! Anyone taking bets this will get quashed by some arrogant judge? What with Murtha hide behind? His nonexistent Congressional immunity?

Glad Murtah is being sued. He is a disgrace to all Marines, Americans and Congress.

YES, I just saw the story reported on local KCAL9 news, which is a CBS affiliate. Unbelievable.
