Correction to column "John Murtha, a Threat to World Peace"
By Doug Hagin (06/30/06)
In my most recent column, I wrote about a statement by Congressman John Murtha. The news source I read quoted Murtha as saying the United States was the greatest threat to world peace.
It turns out the news story made a slight mistake. Murtha did not actually say that, he did, however, cite a recent poll, that said most Europeans saw the U.S. as the biggest threat to world peace.
I, therefore apologize for including in my column, something less than entirely accurate.
However, the spirit of my column I stand behind 100%! Murtha cited the poll, and instead of rejecting it as asinine, spoke as if it made a lot of sense. He had a perfect opportunity to defend the U.S. military and instead went the opposite direction. He used the opportunity to again cast a negative light upon the finest, most honorable fighting force on earth.
