I guess I shouldn't be surprised....

from the article:
Now that charges have been dropped against two of the four Marines accused of murder, Mattera asked, "would you like to issue an apology for saying they killed innocent civilians in cold blood?

"Is the trial still going on?" Murtha asked repeatedly as he made his way to the elevator.

After entering, the lawmaker made sure Mattera stayed out of the elevator.

"Do you like besmirching our troops, sir?" Mattera asked.

"Have you been in the service?" Murtha retorted. "I enlisted in Korea, and I enlisted in Vietnam …"

As the doors closed, Mattera is heard saying, "You accused them of murdering innocent civilians in cold blood. That's something that would come from Al Jazeera, not a congressman, sir."



Good one Mr Mattera!!!! Al Jazeera indeed. And kudos for having the balls to do the DRIVE-BY media's job for them because they wouldn't.

You know if I were in Murtha's place and believed strongly that this was the wrong war etc I would have said, "with respect to the two marines who have had charges dropped I apologize. I was angry and I spoke out too soon and made a mistake. I am still against this war etc but I was wrong about those two marines etc".

Murtha KNEW the charges were dropped but apparently doesn't have the honor (a sad thing to say of one who served in Korea etc)to correct his mistakes.
