John Murtha was one of those "ABSCAM" traitors who tried to sell their Congressional offices to "Arabs" back in the 1970's. He has always been a traitor !
Remember -- Benedict Arnold was a "war hero", too!

Almost one year ago our family posted this letter on the congress.org website and sent this letter to John P. Murtha. We are still awaiting his public apology. We hope that perhaps our posting this letter here might compel oldwardogs readers and members to also contact Mr. Murtha's office and request a similar apology. Feel free to use our letter and sign your own names in agreement.
With Love and Thanks to all who have honorably served,
Mrs. Deborah Corso
Mr. John P. Murtha
