Not to mention the impact of Murtha's disclosure on the lives of those Marines and on U.S. foreign policy before any official findings or formal charges had been brought in the incident.

I still say he should be made to foot the bill. Out of his own dang pocket.

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.

Of course, that didn't stop him back in May 2006, just months before the congressional elections that flipped the House and Senate on an anti-war platform, from making accusations that proved untrue.

One has to wonder whether the Vietnam veteran will be held to account for his earlier rhetoric. Certainly, at the very least, he owes the innocent Marines he accused of cold-blooded murder an apology.

Darn tootin'! But a traitor will go to the gallows claiming to be innocent so I'm not holding my breath. He isn't fit to lick the boots of the Marines whose lives he has so affected with his poisonous idiocy.

With the writers strike and all, perhaps Fonda/Murtha/Kerry should have a prime time special where they could begin to apologize to the 25 million veterans they’ve slandered over the years, and the country that rewarded them for their treason!...very high Nielsen rating guaranteed.
