Controversy Flares Over Ship Named for Murtha

Navy Times: Controversy flares over ship named for Murtha

Murtha accused eight Marines of "... cold blooded murder and war crimes" in the killing of innocent Iraqis at what he referred to as "The Haditha Massacre." The fact that Murtha wore the uniform only intensifies his betrayal. No ship should ever bear his name, that designation should always be reserved for those who serve our Nation with honor and integrity.
