Haditha Marine prepares to sue Murtha over smear

Congressman had accused soldiers of killing 'in cold blood'

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 [Democratic Rep. John] Murtha and the Time magazine reporter, Tim McGuirk, who first published the accusations by Iraqi insurgents.

But the attorney, Brian Rooney, said nothing will happen immediately because he wants Chessani, described as a devout Christian and the father of six homeschooled children, completely "out of the woods" legally before any action is taken. The government, through Lt. Col. S.M. Sullivan, today filed a notice that it would appeal the case to the next judicial level.

Murtha fueled the case by declaring that the Marines involved were cold-blooded killers. Murtha should face the harshest judgment possible for his actions or words! The Thomas More Law Center, which handled this case, deserves a our support and gratitude. And all of us, unlike many of the traitors in Washington DC, should thank our brave fighting men and women and pray for them daily.
