mr. bill loved secrecy far far more than either the Nixon or any Administration. but mr. bill really sucked at picking people who could keep a secret. But mr. bill did get people who sucked.

And boy did mr bill love to lie about everything to keep it secret. mr bill really sucked at that also.

Murtha and Loppy (kerry) both love secrecy since neither will release their military records. It now appears that Murtha hero's status is in question.

The facts are:

Murtha has given three different versions of how he was wounded.

Murtha has given three different versions as to where he was even wounded.

During the House investigation of ABSCAM - Murtha was involved but not indicted - he admitted to a Dem colleague that "he did not deserve the two Purple Hearts". This was on the floor of the US House.

Murtha admitted that he did not miss one day of duty from his 'war wounds'.

Murtha has said on occasions that one wound required a "Band Aid".

There are NO records, hospital or from doctors in his unit, of any treatment for any wounds, at any time.

It was not until 1980 (IIRC) that Murtha put in a request for his 2nd Purple Heart - with no supporting documents, only his own account of events.
Like another 'semi famous' Dem politician and Vietnam veteran, Murtha refuses to release his military records.

All this could be cleared up PDQ - just sign that SF 180 Rep Murtha.
