Murtha sued for Slander of USMC

When Obama worshipers are not busy protesting USMC recruitment centers,or slandering our military,they use their time in other despicable ways.Murtha does not believe in right to fair trial.1of the Marines cleared in the killings of Iraqi civilians in the town of Haditha plans to sue his congressman today4statements he says defamed him and other members of his squad.Former Marine Lance Cpl.Justin Sharratt,24,of Canonsburg,will file a civil lawsuit against US Rep John P Murtha,D-Johnstown,who was widely quoted two years ago saying that8Marines carried out a cold-blooded killing of 24civilians in the Iraqi town on Nov19, 2005.Charges were later dropped against all but one of the Marines,with a military prosecutor calling allegations against Mr Sharrattincredible.Noah Geary,a Washington County lawyer representing Mr Sharratt,said his client will file suit today in US District Court in Pittsburgh accusing Mr. Murtha of violating his constitutional rights as well as slander4statements about the Haditha incident.A1:30pm news conference has been planned2announce the suit.He just held innumerable press conferences,just repeatedly kept saying this was cold-blooded murder, Mr Geary said of the congressman.While Mr Sharratt killed3insurgents,Mr Geary said,he followed the rules of engagement for combat.The Haditha incident remains a political flash point in the Iraq War,with critics saying Mr Murtha,a Marine Corps veteran of Vietnam,defamed American troops.Mr Murtha could not be reached last night and a spokesman did not respond to a message requesting comment.Murtha wont talk. But his upstartGOP opponent will:Republican candidate in the 12th PA Congressional district Bill Russell commented today on the lawsuit filed against incumbent Rep. John Murtha(D-PA)by a Marine from the district.The suit was filed by LCpl.Justin Sharratt of Canonsburg,PA,in Pittsburgh Federal Court and seeks relief for the stripping of Mr.Sharratts Constitutional rights,specifically his right2the presumption of innocence&due process,as well as relief4slander.The lawsuit was prompted by Murthas widely reported comments of Marines at Haditha,Iraqkilling innocent civilians in cold blood.As a career military officer and a 9-11 Pentagon survivor,I have a personal interest in seeing the record and reputations of these courageous Marines cleared,said Russell.It is contemptible that any member of Congress abuse the power of his office to advance a political agenda by unjustly attacking our brave men&women in uniform.Lance Corporal Sharratt was declared innocent byAproperly convened military court,&he has every right to seek justice for the denial of his Constitutional rights to due process and the presumption of innocence,&4the damage done to his reputation.I sincerely hope that Murtha will use this opportunity2admit his mistake&take responsibility4the harm his false accusations have done2Justin Sharratt and his family.Justins right2justice goes beyond politics.I call upon Congressman Murtha to deal honorably with the Sharratts,and not attempt2hide behind election-year rhetoric&the very office whose power he abused to deny them this right

@neotranshuman obviously you never heard of MARSOC, they now have their own special forces in addition to Recon. They stood the unit up when I was in the Marines, and yes they are part of JSOC.

With as many insurgents as they have you try distinguishing a civy or a insurgent course let's not forget about the genocide in Africa

Hey Douchbag, the USMC's internal investigation created alot of paper. They dumped it in Iraq and the New York times got hold of it. Turns out the USMC are a bunch of child murders after all and Murtha wasn't lying.

[firstgenchevelleman]

This fuckin Marine is a hypocrite he just wants a financial gain for Murtha's first amendment rights!!!

@MrBudha98

You are one brainwashed person. You really believe that the US is not murdering foreigners (not to mention a few US citizens)? What part of the Iraq/Afghanistan/Libya/Yemen war is just, moral, or right? But if anyone is culpable of committing "cold blooded murder" it is President Bush, Obama, Clinton and every other power hungry President we've had. The troops following these evil orders are definitely less culpable because they are pawns (though still culpable).

@NeoTranshuman What would you know about The United States Marine Corps?

[Jemhadar28]

I spent 4 tours in Iraq and I think the war was a mistake.but ...........if your sitting in washington dc you should shut your fucking mouth until you know the truth.

[NeoTranshuman]

Lol, the retarded marines will never be elite. That's why they're not in J.S.O.C..

Rules of engagement 101 a civilian with a weapon is no longer a civilian, they are an armed force. Therefore if a few hajis go down with.assault rifles fallen next to their body, how the FUCK is that a "slaughter" of civilians? Do your research Murtha, you fuckin worm.
