I don't think we disagree on the fact that Murtha's comments were, in your words, a mistake. My point is that I don't believe there's a winnable slander case here, and the plaintiff would be wise to drop it. He's made his point already, I believe, and has little more to gain by pressing on.Branthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10472711158045753698noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6137997322301347949.post-10616011507674998342009-04-17T03:52:00.000-04:002009-04-17T03:52:00.000-04:00Brant, Murtha used young men's lives and hurt thei...Brant, Murtha used young men's lives and hurt their reputations for his own political gain. <br />He was playing politics and he was wrong as you would call anyone on the right that did the same thing. <br />Murtha had NO right to declare these young men guilty and as a veteran of Vietnam he should have known better. <br />Even his closest allies could not defend this action and it was a mistake.<br />Consider if that was your own child being destroyed by a congressman for the sole purpose of his political agenda. It was a man putting his ambition above all else. <br />Sometimes I wonder why you allow your own anger at the right to color your judgment. I expected better of you.<br /><br />BTW the O-R should put your blog in the newspaper, it is more entertaining and interesting than the neverending non-local crap that is in there.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
