So has John Murtha, a decorated former Marine himself, apologized for a very public display of contempt for the then uncharged Marines? When confronted with the current state of affairs and asked at a Nov. 20 press conference whether he stood by his May 2006 claim that these Marines were cold-blooded killers, he refused to comment, first hiding behind the excuse that the case was still in the courts. When pressed that four of the accused had been exonerated already, he continued his silence.

Maybe he hasn’t apologized because he’s not through yet. The last I heard, he and his friends were still trying to get a few of these marines on “reduced charges” like “manslaughter” or “negligence”. You know, he’s a reasonable guy. He’d be satisfied with a couple of years in the jug and dishonorable discharges.

I guess all one can do is continue hounding him. He sure is not going to take on the honorable ethnic standards he once embraced.
