Haditha Marine prepares to sue Murtha over smear

With most of the eight Marines charged in the Haditha, Iraq, incident now exonerated, the highest-ranking officer among the accused is considering a lawsuit against Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who fueled the case by declaring the men cold-blooded killers.

[SkyDancer]

I hope Murtha gets what’s coming to him but the MSM will totally ignore this.

[wastedyears]

Hell yeah!

Give ‘em Hell, Marine!

[ken21]

good for him!

[max americana]

This should be on Court TV, but the lib media will kill this story.

[cherry]

I am sure when the time comes, freepers will support this fine young officer....

[Red Steel]

Now it’s two Marines suing Murtha.

[HerrBlucher]

Sue Murtha here, now!

[Lakeshark]

Now it’s two Marines suing Murtha

We can only hope it will be all 8 soon........

[mortal19440]

The more the merrier. I hope they hand this pompous EX=Marine his fat ass.

[TigersEye]

I look forward to it. Make Murtha bleed.

[llandres]

“the lead attorney for Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani said he and his client will look into suing Murtha and the Time magazine reporter, Tim McGuirk, who first published the accusations by Iraqi insurgents. “

As WELL they should!!!! Will so look forward to seeing the progress of this. And maybe with it being against Murtha/Time, it will get at least some media play.

[Cicero]

Rooney told Savage the Haditha case is the largest investigation in the history of the Naval Criminal Investigative Service, with 65 agents assigned by the government.

From what I've seen, a lot of these guys piled on pretty eagerly, too.

[StormEye]

"...the highest-ranking officer among the accused is considering a lawsuit against Democratic Rep. John Murtha, who fueled the case by declaring the men cold-blooded killers."

If Murtha made the statements on the floor of the House, I believe the Constitution protects him from any legal action. I he made the statements anywhere else, I believe he's fair game for a slander or defamation lawsuit. I hope the officer sues him if he can! Maybe the other military personnel will join in the lawsuit.

[SpaceBar]

Chessani’s lawyer should have kept his yap shut until after the appeal deadline.

[maine-iac7]

Be even better if they all got together and filed a joint suit...........

[boycott]

Murtha should be tried for war crimes. He’s clearly helping the enemy. He damn sure isn’t doing anything to help the men an women of our armed forces.

The man is a dirtbag.

[cw35]

Sue the coward!

[Wagonboy]

Where do I send some cash to help! FR should set up a fund. -Wb

[Mariner]

I want to contribute to THAT legal fund.

[FredZarguna]

Murtha made his statements in at least two places other than the Congress. For any idiotic statements he made in Congress, he has an absolute Constitutional protection, as you correctly suggest. One statement was to an unspecified "group of reporters"," the other, where the most egregious remarks were probably made was on Good Morning America. Neither of those would be protected conversations.

I believe both Time Magazine's article and Murtha's incoherent ravings are actionable. Let's hope the lawsuit moves forward and JRob will feature a place for us to donate prominently when it does.

[Cobra64]

There are few people that I hate, but Murtha is on the top of the list. Murtha should be hanged. No... drawn and quartered. I'm surprised a Marine hasn't turned out his lights.

.

And this guy is runner up:

[Stonewall Jackson]

They should have assigned Gibbs, DiNozzo, McGee, David, Ducky, and Abby to the case. They’d have cracked in an hour, with plenty of time taken out for commercials. ;-)

[Parley Baer]

I can see my way clear to send some money in support of this lawsuit.

[nonliberal]

Murtha is the perfect argument for fragging.

[SpaceBar]

Where do I send some cash to help!

The semi-official place to donate to Chessani's legal defense is through the Thomas More Law Center. Go to www.thomasmore.org and click the "donation" link near the top right. This is the organisation that handled all the contributions soliticed by Michael Savage on behalf of the accused Marines.

[SpaceBar]

I want to contribute to THAT legal fund.

See post #27.

Friendly fire, ain’t.

[wastedyears]

That’s no M4, that looks like the H&K 416.

[Proud_USA_Republican]

Give that traitorous Mullah Murtha hell.

[Cobra64]

Yes it is. There’s some scuttlebut about the merits of the M4 vs. the 416.

Best news I’ve heard in a long time. Go Marine!

[wastedyears]

Yeah, there was a thread here not too long ago about an Army unit testing/fielding the 416, that had to give it back because it wasn’t from an American company, probably Colt.

I don’t know enough about the SOPMOD M4A1 the SEALs use to comment on it. But I’ve seen the 416 on Future Weapons, and it looks like a pretty nifty toy to have. Without the major gun control laws, one of these may be had for under $900.

I saw a review of it also... can't remember where. It was impressive. At any rate, I'd buy one at that price. Are you sure you didn't leave off a zero in your number?

[SkyPilot]

[Dr. Ursus]

Now,where did I put the money I stole yesterday? OH,well,
there’s plenty more where that came from.

[bcsco]

This should be on Court TV...

Court TV doesn't exist anymore. It's now "TRUE TV!; Not reality, Actuality!!". Heh, heh.

[Girlene]

LOL, Dr.

Ping, Red and Jaz.

[jazusamo]

Good one and so true!

[RedRover]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!!!

[Ann Archy]

GO GET THE BASTARD!! SUE HIS PANTS OFF!!!!!

[wastedyears]

Well, I’m sure it would depend on what laws you take into consideration, how many H&K USA makes, prices of metals...

[Cobra64]

The material cost of a weapon is maybe $10.00.

[wastedyears]

So then, disregarding the major gun control laws, I see nothing wrong with an M4A1 being had for $250.

I don't either. However, you have to factor in R&D, engineering, QC, overhead, distribution channels, sales volume, and market sector.
