Not A Surprise

Patterico, doing original reporting:
Murtha is a liar who used a terrorist accusation of an American atrocity to tar his own country and its soldiers. Politics uber alles...even his country's security.
For those who are interested, Lieberman is up 12% over Lamont. I wish he would vote with the Republican caucus, but he is too ethical to dump the Democrats even after they have dumped him.
Update: the Democrats find a war they like: against Walmart. It has the lowest prices and is a huge employer of the low-skilled; that seems like a net plus for those on the bottom rungs of society. Raise wages, raise benefits, raise prices, hurt the poor. Now that is a great strategy.
I heard back from General Hagee’s office yesterday regarding my inquiry about when Gen. Hagee briefed John Murtha about Haditha. The bottom line: Gen. Hagee’s office has directly contradicted an assertion by the L.A. Times that Gen. Hagee briefed John Murtha on Haditha before Murtha accused Marines of killing civilians in cold blood. Gen. Hagee’s office confirmed to me that the General’s first briefing to Murtha took place a week after Murtha had already made his public accusations.
...
And the L.A. Times covered for him, and continues to do so — even after I have told them that Hagee’s office says otherwise.
