Representative John P. Murtha, Ex-Marine and Iraq War Critic, Dies

Give the guy credit for speaking up against Bush's failed war policies.
"Representative John P. Murtha of Pennsylvania, a gruff ex-Marine who was one of the most hawkish Democrats in Congress but who became an outspoken critic of the Iraq war, died on Monday in Arlington, Va. He was 77."

Elected in 1974, Mr. Murtha’s death came two days after he became the longest-serving congressman in Pennsylvania history, his office said, surpassing the record of Joseph M. McDade.

RIP.
