Defamation suit against Murtha?
I say we have a Class Action Lawsuit against the Bush Administration for taking us into Iraq, on lies (so that would be fraud), the people killed (wrongful deaths), more lies (saying we won't spend more than a billion dollars, that we will leave ASAP), etc.

This is OUR government, we have to take it back.

1. I think elected officials are immune to this kind of lawsuit
Not that it might not be a good idea anyway. Get people riled up.

3. Why not?
What's wrong with getting people riled up?

People have been too complacent recently, they need to wake up.

4. I may have said that wrong
I meant to say it might be a good idea anyway (even if legally it probably wouldn't fly, as far as I understand).

5. Oh, OK
You're right, even if it doesn't get too far (Bush and Cheney WILL cite the State Secrets Privilege or something), I think just putting a lawsuit against them would be enough.

2. I hope that if by some weird chance this goes through...
that Michael Schiavo immediately turns around a files against Frist and all of his asshat buddies that were trashing him.

6. If the soldier is convicted of murder, it's not defamation, is it???
