"It’s clear that Rep Murtha made these statements surrounding the mid-term elections and his zeal for a leadership position in the House based upon his correct belief that the Democrats were going to take control of the House for many reasons not least of which was the war at the time," Rooney says."Once we exonerate Lt. Col. Chessani in the criminal realm, we will address possible civil remedies against Congressman Murtha (and possibly others) for his statements in regards to the Marines and their officers in Haditha ("cold blooded murder" and "cover-up"). The civil process can be long. There is also a two-year statute of limitations on filing it so we have to be mindful of that as well," Rooney adds. "First things first though. Rep Murtha will also be a witness (if we can get him there) in the court-martial in our unlawful command influence motions."
GOOD! The price of bringing Murtha before the bar of justice is steep. He is a powerful, influential politician who can call in lots of political markers to keep himself out of hot-water, Rooney acknowledges.
Murtha will be brought down. A happy thought for a Happy Thanksgiving, Star!

Politicians and justices have learned that in this country NO One is above the law—from Abe Fortas to Nixon and Clinton...Murtha will pay a price someday for his treachery and for betraying the Marine Corps he once served in. He is out of the Brotherhood, and the only ‘brother’ he can count now is Judas...If he had any backbone he would stand up, apologize and say he was wrong..
