Murtha sued over remarks
On August 11, 2007, regarding the alleged atrocities in Haditha, I posted Where’s The Apology? I wrote
I was sure the MSM would correct their original stories along with Rep Murtha issuing an apology.
There has been no apology from Rep. Murtha so,
Now, less than six weeks before the longtime Johnstown Democrat is up for re-election, a Marine involved in the now-infamous Haditha incident is suing Murtha for slander.
Justin Sharratt of Canonsburg, Washington County, left the Marine Corps last year. But he claims Murtha’s statements have caused “permanent, irreversible damage to his reputation.”
“What Murtha did is outrageous, and I am seeking punitive damages,” said Noah Geary, a Pittsburgh attorney representing Sharratt.
It’s about time. No Marine has ever been found guilty of any of the original charges. It did not happen the way Murtha said and looks like it is too late to apologize.
