In the wake of the dismissal of charges against Lance Cpl. Stephen Tatum, Gary at Let Freedom Ring makes the case for indicting John Murtha.
Murtha indicts himself every time he opens his mouth.
Below from "Let Freedom Ring."
We know that Rep. Murtha’s story has changed several times. When
reporters initially asked him about his sourcing on May 18, 2006, Rep.
Murtha said this:
“All the information I get, it comes from the commanders, it comes from people who know what they’re talking about.”
That didn’t last long. On May 30, 2006, he made this contradictory statement:
The Commandant of the Marine Corps was in my office just last week, so you know, I know there was a cover-up someplace.
He later offered another statement. This time, the spokesman for
Marine Corps Commandant Michael Hagee had to correct Rep. Murtha:
He had told The Philadelphia Inquirer that Gen. Michael
Hagee had given him the information on which he based his charge that
Marines killed innocent civilians. But a spokesman for the Marine Corps
said Hagee briefed Murtha on May 24 about Haditha.
Let’s highlight that conflict between rep. Murtha and the Marine
Corps spokesman because it highlights extremely important information.
If Gen. Hagee did indeed brief Rep. Murtha on May 24, 2006, that
means that Rep. Murtha couldn’t make these accusations based on
irrefutable facts; at least he couldn’t do that on May 17, 2006.
