Murtha said "they [the Marines] killed innocent people. There’s no question in my mind about what happened here. There was no gunfire. They killed four people in a taxi and then in addition to that, they went into the rooms and killed them." Now the facts are out, and it turns out that the Marines did nothing wrong. Should Murtha apologize for accusing them of murder ?

How about the Marines apologize to the rest of the services for ever claiming that cheese-eating surrender monkey coward among their numbers.
What a freaking embarrassment to the military...

Colonel Murtha won't apologize for defaming his fellow Marines. And that is the real pity in this whole affair.

Not going to have much success with that. He never apologized for his part in AbScam.
Hey, Murtha, want $52K?
Not now.

I not only think he should apologize but resign his office. Is this the kind of person we want in government to pronounce judgment before all the facts are in just to satisfy his ideology?

Apologize?
How about give some of that $250 million he has made in stock gains since the beginning of this war!

Yes. He should. Especially since he only said it for political reasons, not because he actually even believed it was the truth. Shame on him!

I would love to see a politician apologize for bad mouthing troops but they never will.

He should be tried for treason or something.That was nothing more than political posturing at our brave troops expense.

It would be the decent thing to do.

"Did nothing wrong" is a stretch -- two people are still facing court martial. Personally I don't see how shooting unarmed people including women and young children equates to no wrongdoing.
