Feds Say Murtha Immune From Pa. Haditha Suit, Too – Defamation of our troops by democrats is apparently cool

A Justice Department attorney said U.S. Rep. John Murtha, Democrat, should be immune from a defamation lawsuit filed by a former Marine from western Pennsylvania according to WTAE:

Essentially, Murtha’s attorney said the lawsuit filed in September by Justin Sharratt, of Canonsburg, should be dismissed for the same reasons that a federal appeals court struck down a similar suit by Staff Sgt. Frank Wuterich, of Meriden, Conn., last week.

The court ruled that Murtha couldn’t be sued because he was acting within the scope of his employment when he accused Wuterich’s squad of killing innocent civilians “in cold blood” in Haditha, Iraq in 2005.

Sharratt has been cleared of wrongdoing. Wuterich remains charged by a military court but says he’s innocent.

Sharratt said Murtha’s comments on TV news shows go beyond his duties as a congressman.
