Another Haditha Marine Set To Sue Rep. Murtha

The reprehensible Democrat Rep. John Murtha, who claimed that the Haditha Marines murdered Iraqis in cold blood, must be held accountable for his outrageous statements.

Expect to hear crickets from Murtha and his press flacks when yet another lawsuit is filed against him for slander by one of those Marines smeared by the Member of Congress.

A local Marine cleared in the deaths of civilians in Iraq says Congressman John Murtha made public comments that were unproven, untrue and unfair.

Now, Lance Corporal Justin Sharratt is planning to file suit in federal court against Murtha on Thursday morning.

The suit accuses the congressman of slander and violating the Marine's right to a fair trial and due process.

That follows a lawsuit filed by Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich against Murtha for defamation. Murtha abused his position by making inflammatory statements that could prejudice the public and was meant as a way to pressure the outcome of trials against the Marines.
