Haditha Marines: Charges Dismissed On Seven, One Left, and John Murtha Has Still Not Apologized

Out eight, now there is only one left....charges against the 7th, Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani, have been dismissed.

Michelle Malkin has the story and she is paging John Murtha...

I asked long ago, right here at Wake up America, when John Murtha was going to apologize for publicly calling these eight men, cold-blooded killers, without benefit of an investigation or trial.

Marine after Marine has had the charges dismissed and Murtha still has not apologized for slandering them publicly.

Malkin provides the number to call Murtha and ask him where his public apology is?

Fight the smears. Call John “Cold-blooded” Murtha for comment: 202-225-2065.


I will add a little bit to that..... people need to confront John Murtha, relentlessly, until he gives these Marines, their families, friends and supporters the public apology we all deserve from that traitor.

So, from a couple of previous posts, here are multiple ways to reach John Murtha:
