Has Murtha no

sense of decency?

Recently, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, an investigator in the Haditha massacre case, issued a report recommending charges be dropped against Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt. Not long ago, Congressman John P. Murtha locally declared the Marines guilty. This was done shortly after the incident hit the news and was based on the testimony of locals making the charges and before all the facts could be taken into evidence. The report specifically questions their credibility, since forensic results were inconsistent with the execution-style murders the locals claimed.

In his abominable, politically motivated actions, Murtha acted as "judge, jury, prosecutor, castigator and press agent, all in one."

All I can say is, "Until this moment, Congressman, I never really gauged your cruelty or your recklessness. Let us not further assassinate this lad, Congressman. You have done enough. Have you no sense of decency?"

If this sounds vaguely familiar it should. Substitute "Senator" for "Congressman" and you have the words spoken by lawyer Joseph Welch on June 9, 1954. The earlier quote was attributed to Harvard law dean Ervin Griswald. They referred to and were addressed to Senator Joseph R. McCarthy.

I now address that question to the supporters of Murtha, because we know his answer, judging by the lack of a public apology: Have you no sense of decency?

Murtha is at this moment presiding over the House of Rep. If you want a good laugh, take a look at C-SPAN and watch the blithering idiot in all his glory.

LOL! Blithering idiot is correct. The dems are scraping the bottom of the barrell for a Chairman today. Maybe Queen Nan is just throwing a bone to her attack dog to keep him happy.

Thanks for the heads up, Smooth.

Some are what psychiatrists call “functional psychopaths”—malignant, criminal personalities...[later adding]...sociopathic lawyers.

Hmmm, sounds complete. I might only add malignant narcissism to the collection of psychiatric abnormalities of the Murthas, Kerrys, Clintons, and Kennedys and their Beltway chums.
