In the first article, they discuss how the FL South Sentinel slammed Murtha badly. Then below it is the rather lame, retraction by the Sun Setinel. 'Sun-Sentinel' Corrects Controversial Murtha Article By E&P Staff Published: June 28, 2006 3:45 PMET NEW YORK Conservative Web sites had a field day last weekend, citing a purported comment by Rep. John Murtha (D-Pa), the formerly hawkish but now antiwar congressman, that the U.S. was now the greatest threat to world peace. -- more than even Iran and North Korea. Murtha allegedly expressed this view in an article in the Sunday South Florida Sun-Sentinel. After protests from Murtha and some readers, the Sun-Sentinel corrected the record today. Murtha's office had gone so far as release a commetn from Melissa Sanchez of the Miami Herald, who also attended the speech, saying of Murtha's statement: “That was in reference to international polls. It was not so much his own conjecture, but a conclusion drawn from polls in various countries.” But by then, Bill O'Reilly, Tucker Carlson and other pundits had strongly attacked Murtha, with Newt Gingrich caling for his "censure" in Congress. Here is the Sun-Sentinel's correction: "An article in Sunday's editions misinterpreted a comment from U.S. Rep. John Murtha, D-Pa., at a town hall meeting in North Miami on Saturday. In his speech, Murtha said U.S. credibility was suffering because of continued U.S. military presence in Iraq , and the perception that the U.S. is an occupying force. Murtha was citing a recent poll, by the Pew Global Attitudes Project, that indicates a greater percentage of people in 10 of 14 foreign countries consider the U.S. in Iraq a greater danger to world peace than any threats posed by Iran or North Korea.
