The MSM aren’t exactly falling all over themselves to tell THIS side of the Iraq story, but at least there is a story to be told and some hope of justice:

Murtha Must Testify in Defamation Case

By KIMBERLY HEFLING

WASHINGTON (AP) — A federal judge refused Friday to dismiss a defamation case against Rep. John P. Murtha and ordered the Pennsylvania Democrat to give a sworn deposition about his comments alleging “cold-blooded murder and war crimes” by unnamed soldiers in connection with Iraqi civilian deaths.

A Marine Corps sergeant is suing the 18-term congressman for making the charge, which the soldier claims is false. Murtha, who opposes the Iraq war, made the comment during a May, 2006 Capitol Hill news conference in which he predicted that a Pentagon war crimes investigation will show Marines killed dozens of innocent Iraqi civilians in Haditha in 2005.

WASHINGTON, Sept. 25 — The Supreme Court agreed on Tuesday to decide whether laws that require voters to take government-issued photo identification to the polls place an unconstitutional burden on the right to vote.

In a presidential election week dominated by Hillary Clinton’s new plan for universal health insurance coverage, the best news John Edwards got was … Hillary Clinton’s new plan for health insurance coverage. Mainly, because it underlined Edwards as the progressive driver in the Democratic field. Even the mainstream media, which see Clinton and Barack Obama as the frontrunners and frequently forget about Edwards, noted that Clinton’s plan is a virtual copy of Edwards’ from seven months ago. (And that Edwards was “flattered.”) Also, that it’s a step up from Clinton’s earlier, more cautious stance that universal coverage would take her eight years as president to achieve.

WASHINGTON — The House on Tuesday approved a compromise bill to renew and expand a popular program that provides health insurance for low-income children, but supporters came up short of the votes needed to override a threatened veto from President Bush.
