Release Murtha!   Republicans have him locked on and are ready to fire any and every time he opens his mouth.   They know Murtha is a verbal spastic who often sticks his foot in his mouth.   But this time they have misquoted him or, more precisely, have taken his comments out of context.   According to Murtha's press release, the unindicted Abscam co-conspirator did not actually say the US is the biggest danger to world peace.   Rather, he said polls show that "a greater percentage of people in 10 of 14 foreign countries consider the U.S. in Iraq a danger to world peace than consider Iran or North Korea a danger to world peace."   He also said he insists this administration react to those polls.

Is it not enough that Democrats rule by the results of statistical polls?   Do we really have to consider the demands of an elected representative who formulates policy based upon polls taken in foreign countries?   Which is worse, an American who says our country is the biggest danger to world peace or a representative who takes his cues from foreign polls?
