Haditha Slayings Not Murder

It is looking more and more like former Marine and Congressman John Murtha is either a liar or a much too eager opportunist.

A sergeant who examined the scene hours after Marines killed two dozen Iraqis in Haditha last year said the shootings appeared to be an appropriate response to a coordinated insurgent attack, according to a sworn statement obtained by The Washington Post. (snip)

But Laughner said the scenes of the slayings appeared to match the version of events the Marine squad provided that day and did not seem especially out of the ordinary, according to a transcript of Laughner’s interview with military investigators in March.

What do you have to say now, Mr. Murtha?  If the Congressman wasn’t so pathetic, he would be embarrassing.
