Haditha Marine Planning To Sue Traitor Murtha
Newsmax:
If Marine Col. Jeffrey Chessani is exonerated of the charges against him he may haul Pennsylvania Democratic Congressman John Murtha, into court, suing him for libel, one of his lawyers told NewsMax.com.
Brian Rooney, one of the attorneys at Michigan’s Thomas More Law Center representing Lt. Col. Jeffrey Chessani and a former Marine captain himself told NewsMax.com that his client, who is alleged to have failed to fully investigate the killing of 24 Iraqis in Haditha November, 2005 and not reporting an alleged Law of War violation, may follow the example of another Haditha Marine, SSgt. Frank Wuterich who is suing Murtha for libel.
Murtha set off a media firestorm last year when even before the matter had been fully investigated he charged members of Kilo Company, 3rd Bn, 1st Marine Regiment had gone on a rampage and slaughtered 24 Iraqi civilians in cold blood to avenge the killing of a member of their unit in an IED explosion. He also said that the incident occurred in the absence of any firefight, although it occurred as part of a day-long battle with insurgent ambushers that wounded 11 Marines.
Rooney told NewsMax.Com that his group that, if as they expect, Chessani is cleared just as one officer, Capt. Randy Stone and two enlisted men have either been exonerated of had a hearing officer recommend exoneration they will seek to hold Murtha accountable.
According to Brian Rooney , SSgt. Frank Wuterich — one of the other defendants in the investigation now awaiting a hearing on murder charges — is already suing Murtha for those libelous comments. He insists that Murtha should be held accountable for taking the word of Iraqi insurgents and calling the Marines “cold-blooded murderers.”
“Staff Sergeant Wuterich’s attorneys are suing Congressman Murtha for liable for saying that the Marines were cold-blooded murderers, and that suit’s still ongoing,” Rooney said.
“We’re not suing Murtha right now,” Rooney added. “I know that Frank Wuterich’s attorney are suing him for libel, and we will explore that option once our criminal case has been concluded. We hope to show that Murtha is guilty of libel against our client because when he accused the unit’s officers of covering up the incident he could only have been referring to Lt. Col. Chessani.
Rooney recalled that in June 2006, Murtha told ABC’s Charles Gibson, “I know there was a cover-up someplace. They knew about this a few days afterwards, and there’s no question the chain of command tried to stifle the story.”
“We think Congressman Murtha abandoned his legislative role in attacking the Marines, and so we are going to explore that. We’re going to take it one step at a time, but that’s definitely something we’re going to do once our client is exonerated.”
Be respectful of others and their opinions. Inflammatory remarks and inane leftist drivel will be deleted. It ain’t about free speech, remember you’re in a private domain. My website, my prerogative.
If you can't handle using your real email address, don't bother posting a comment.
Murtha must have done some unjust killings when he was in Vietnam. He thinks its normal. Sick bastard.
They should investigate the battles he was involved in. Try him for murder and put him away. 
I believe once a marine always a marine. Murtha is a traitor to his country and the marine corp. Semper Fi 
August 30th, 2007 at 11:15 amAs part of the settlement, I hope the accused Marines each get to kick Murtha in the nuts.
August 30th, 2007 at 11:28 amMurtha is a motherfucking moron ex-marine. The one time when it is okay to say ex, not former Marine. He is not a Marine. A Marine understands the Marine in the “fight” and what that means. He has been bought by the Dems and has sold his soul. Get a rope!!!
August 30th, 2007 at 11:30 amliar murky murtha traded in his eagle, globe and anchor for a jack ass… he lied to get reelected.. he said that 80%of iraq didn’t want us there when in fact it was 80% that begged us to come to their salvation for 15yrs… he is not worthy to be called any type of MARINE except a lying marine,,and there aren’t many of those,, SEMPER FI 67-70
August 30th, 2007 at 11:35 amOfficially re-designate discharge to ‘dishonorable’. Sever any connection between the Corps and this piss-ant, regardless of duty record. Corps needs to take immediate action and wipe this stain off both its hard-earned reputation and legacy, once and for all time. Warrior Devil Dogs who have been lost in action and those surviving, deserve nothing less.

Well said.
August 30th, 2007 at 11:44 amGreat comment Gunny and Marine Dad..I dont think any Marine could identify with this self loathing, American military hating asshole. Calling them guilty when none of the evidence or (lack of evidence) was even available. Shame on him and hopefully the Corps will disbar him or whatever you would call it
August 30th, 2007 at 11:51 amThe article should have given some credit to Michael Savage. He has made it his personal mission to get Chessani exonorated and has helped him with donations.
August 30th, 2007 at 12:08 pmGood for that Gyrene, but he should take it further: sue that asshole Tim McGurk as well.

Thank you, Marines.
Siemper fidelis, and God Bless.
August 30th, 2007 at 3:03 pmFuck the money, break his fucking jaw!
August 30th, 2007 at 3:26 pmIn Vietnam Murtha was in the rear with the gear. He was either in the PAO’s office in Saigon or he was M.I. Yeah he was some hero alright(cough cough, wink, wink).
Great idea Col Chessani and SSG SSgt. Wuterich. Make this lying ass pinochio pay for his crime…Sue his ass….
And when you guys win that case too, lobby the USMC to take away Murtha’s globe and anchor. He’s no ex-Marine. He’s a traitor and a coward.
August 30th, 2007 at 3:37 pmShow some respect! Jack is King of Special Operations: earmarks.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:17 pmyou know, and it could be that i just missed it, but i remember seeing this all over the news when the marines were charged…but i can’t remember seeing anything about them being cleared of those charges…what a crock
August 30th, 2007 at 4:41 pmThis is great news. Keep the lawsuits coming and lets see how you bullshit artist lying liberal scumbags like it.
August 30th, 2007 at 4:48 pmGo for it, Marine!!!
As for NV Sailor’s remarks about the lack of media coverage of the Marine charges being cleared, in light of the current ugliness of the Sen. Craig (R) “alleged” bathroom fiasco, former Congressman Tom DeLay was on NBC this a.m. and Matt Lauer a new one about the MSM’s bias and
‘Amazing Double-Standard’ when talking party scandals:

August 30th, 2007 at 6:22 pmhe was considering taking bribes from arabs(abscam) then he accuses marines of hurting his buddies. No surprises here , considering he is a democrat. Him and John kerry, heroes in their own minds, while those who also served want them lynched for treason.
