EXCLUSIVE IN THE HADITHA CASE!

Marine Plans To File Slander Suit Against Murtha
WASHINGTON, PA (KDKA) ― A local Marine cleared in the deaths of civilians in Iraq says Congressman John Murtha made public comments that were unproven, untrue and unfair.
Now, Lance Corporal Justin Sharratt is planning to file suit in federal court against Murtha on Thursday morning.
The suit accuses the congressman of slander and violating the Marine's right to a fair trial and due process.
Sharratt was one of eight Marines charged after 24 Iraqi civilians were killed in Haditha. He was charged with three counts of unpremeditated murder.
It's alleged in the lawsuit that before the outcome of the case, Congressman Murtha made slanderous comments.
Three years after the deaths, seven of eight Marines have been cleared, including Sharratt. There's now a website, JustinSharratt.com, to let the world know that he has been cleared.
The eighth Marine is still waiting for his day in court.
KDKA contacted Murtha's office for comment on this suit but there's no word back from them yet.
Wild Thing's comment...........
OUTSTANDING!!! I hope there are six more lawsuits lined up and ready to go.
Jack Murtha, you are truly treasonous scum. I hope more news like this brings Murtha's detestable, treasonous words and actions back to the forefront of voters' minds.
And let's not forget Lt. Col. Bill Russell's who is running against Murtha!
"We now know that Congressman Jack Murtha's long, public indictment of American Marines was factually wrong. Instead of "cold blooded killers," court rulings reveal a dramatically different story of personal courage under fire. True heroism.
Lt. Col. Bill Russell's grassroots campaign is setting the record straight. By standing up for fellow veterans, military personal and average taxpayers, he's taking on one of Washington's most entrenched powerbrokers in what columnist Michelle Malkin calls a "David versus Goliath" contest.
A survivor of the September 11, 2001 attacks on the Pentagon, Bill's campaign is a call to conservative reform and patriotic action."

This is great. Murtha must be wetting his pants. He was so public in his accusations and codemnation of these Marines that now he cannot deny anything. Murtha's bully tactics won't help him this time.
Let's hope that those PA voters wake up and vote Bill Russell in and Murtha out.

Tom, I sure hope so. It really important that Murtha is out and gone and then does not win the lawsuits too. Oh that would be sooooo fantastic.

Yankeemom DITTO that. I LOVE this Marine and the other one that will be taking Murtha on.
Heck I love all the Marines.

Sarah Palin should make a Pennsylvania campaign stop with Justin Sharratt in support of Lt. Col. Bill Russell's effort to throw the bumb and traitor John Murtha out of office. The crowd would be huge and would make the Internet blogger news if not in the MSM.
