An interesting development with one of the exonerated Marines in the Haditha mess Jack Murtha and Time Magazine's Tim McGuirk created not so long ago has bubbled up...the highest ranking officer accused is considering suing them:
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.
In an interview with nationally syndicated radio talk host Michael Savage, the lead attorney for Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani said he and his client will look into suing Murtha and the Time magazine reporter, Tim McGuirk, who first published the accusations by Iraqi insurgents.
As lawsuits go, THIS is one I would thoroughly enjoy watching. I can think of no better example of giving back to the anti-war Democrats a little of that "support" we keep hearing so much about. All that distortion, misrepresentation, and shrill rhetoric comes at a real cost to the Soldiers actually doing the heavy lifting for us in Iraq and I would LOVE to see them hold Murtha and his ilk accountable for their actions and their words.
The rest below the fold...
