(CNSNews.com) – The parents of a U.S. Marine accused of killing three Iraqis execution-style in Haditha in late 2005 said Thursday they would ask Congress to censure Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa.) for saying that the Marines "overreacted" during the incident and killed civilians "in cold blood."
"It’s too late for an apology," Darryl Sharratt of Canonsburg, Pa., told Cybercast News Service after the hearing officer in the case, Lt. Col. Paul Ware, released an 18-page report recommending that all charges against Sharratt’s son, Lance Cpl. Justin Sharratt, be dismissed because his actions "were in accord with the rules of engagement and use of force."
Somehow, I doubt whether Murtha will even say he was wrong, much less apologize. He lost the honor, and cajones, that made him a Marine years ago.
Sharratt said that he, his wife Theresa and other supporters of their 22-year-old son were planning to visit Martha’s office, and "we’re going to ask for more than an apology."
"We need this man censured by our Congress," he said, because "he denied my son — and the other Marines involved — their constitutional rights to a fair trial and a presumption of innocence."
The Constitution goes out the window when a Democrat needs to score cheap political points. They claim they support the troops, but, only as far as they can use them for political gain.
The rest of the story is a good rehash of what has occurred Haditha, and the aftermath, along with Murtha’s disgusting comments, which are the norm for today’s Democrat Party.
Murtha is also being sued for his comments, though it hasn’t gone to court yet. He will probably call it some sort of right wing conspiracy. He should be impeached for missusing his office.
