Murtha Sued

The Washington Post has an item up reporting that Marine SSG Frank D. Wuterich will file a law suit in Federal court today against Congressman Jack Murtha for defamation over Murtha’s public comments regarding the Haditha incident. Wuterich’s lawyer said the filing is designed partly to force Murtha to disclose what information he received from the Defense Department and the Marine Corps commandant to form his opinion, essentially trying to speed up the discovery process in a potential criminal trial. I sincerely hope that this gets as much attention as Murtha’s original comments, but I am not holding my breath. Now that it appears that the Haditha incident was not the cold blooded murder of innocents that Murtha claimed, the press is no longer interested. (HT Michelle Malkin)
