It's not just Joe.

Disgraceful attacks have been launched against Jack Murtha for his muscular stance on the conduct of the War in Iraq, including a bogus lawsuit about his remarks on the massacre at Haditha. Joe Sestak released a statement today, noting the continuing the theme of relentless swiftboating of any ex-military Democrat who objects to any of Bush's use of our armed forces.

Congressman Jack Murtha is currently facing ruthless attacks and the deliberate distortion of his record, simply for speaking out against the status quo on the Iraq War. We should all respect Congressman Murtha for bucking the trend in Washington and advancing new ideas. As a veteran myself, I take this very seriously. I am proud to stand with fmr. Sen. Max Cleland and others and say that I am saddened by those who would abandon civil public debate and discourse over our strategy in Iraq and turn to attacking the record of a distinguished veteran.

'Nuff said.
