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.

i hope he does this. its a violation of the marines right to be concidered innocent before a court of law. i guess slander would be very mild. denying one their judical rights would be more correct.

Who found these guys innocent?

I hope Lt Col Cessani and other Marines get a huge hunk of Murtha's ass. And from all indications it would be a big score, as Murtha not only has a big ass, but is a rather sizable in w(hole).

Federal judge orders Murtha to testify in Haditha defamation case

A federal judge has ordered Rep. Jack Murtha (D-Pa.) to testify in a defamation case related to the deaths of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha in 2005, according to the Associated Press.

Murtha, a former Marine. accused Marines of "cold-blooded murder and war crimes'' during the Haditha incident. Frank Wuterich, a Marine sergeant involved in the incident, has sued Murtha for libel and invasion of privacy over his comments.

According to AP, U.S. District Judge Rosemary M. Collyer wants Murtha to explain why he made this statement and any documents he has related to the incident.

From the AP: 'You're writing a very wide road for members of Congress to go to their home districts and say anything they choose about private persons and be able to do so without any liability. Are you sure you want to do that?'' Collyer said, adding later, ''How far can a congressman go and still be protected?"

I wonder if the Iraqis would have reached a different verdict

The better question may be

WHO thought they were guilty until proven innocent?

... Slander is slander - no matter how high and mighty you think you are ...

Murtha had them sentenced BEFORE their trial ... What a Patriotic move that was!
