More evidence mounts that Rep. John Murtha lied when he said that he obtained information about Haditha AFTER a military briefing. The LA Times futher identified the briefer as General Haggee. Petterico’s Pontifications checked up on it on has the verdict. The LA Times is also full of crap.

“I heard back from General Hagee‚Äôs office yesterday regarding my inquiry about when Gen. Hagee briefed John Murtha about Haditha. The bottom line: Gen. Hagee‚Äôs 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‚Äôs office confirmed to me that the General‚Äôs first briefing to Murtha took place a week after Murtha had already made his public accusations.”

The more we know……Will Murtha have the guts to step forward and admit he lied? Somehow I doubt it.
