Russell Comes Out Swinging Against Murtha (~September 17, 2008)

No Apology From Murtha Over Haditha (Lt. Col. Russell for Congress) (~July 02, 2008)

[Chessani's] Attorney Brian Rooney believes that Murtha made his "cold blood" statement for political gain:

"In my opinion, it's clear it was done during the election cycle, it was done to bolster himself in the party," the attorney said. "He was vying for a leadership position, and if he had to throw some Marines under the bus to do so, that was the cost of power for him." [ mypetjawa.mu.nu]
