You detailed the problems with Murtha in your last paragraph and I completely agree with them. The other problem is that she apparently wants to Alcee Hastings to supersede Jane Harman as chair of the Intelligence Committee. In light of ethical issues, having an impeached judge chair that committee seems a poor choice. It would be like putting William Jefferson in as chair of the Appropriations Committee and giving him an in-committee-room refrigerator.
