And, Murtha himself said he asked the liberal Democrats to let his statement stand on it's own....because he felt that it would be much harder to brand it as a liberal weakness if it was given by a well known hawk. Given the fact that he was repeatedly called a hawk in the reports I've seen; and given the fact that the president and VP both had to pull back due to political pressures, I don't see how one paints the mainstream news as conservative here. In Blogspace, one typically gets partisan rants from the left and right. I take them with even a bigger grain of salt than I do mainstream media.
