From Diana Irey for Congress:

(MONONGAHELA, June 29) – Washington County Commissioner and Pennsylvania 12th district Republican Congressional nominee Diana Irey – responding to a statement by House Minority Leader Nancy Pelosi, in which Pelosi says the Supreme Court’s decision in the Guantanamo Bay case “reaffirms the rule of law” – today released the following statement:

“A little while ago, Nancy Pelosi released a statement to the press regarding today’s Supreme Court decision on military commissions trying detainees at Guantanamo Bay. Here’s what she said:

“Today’s Supreme Court decision reaffirms the American ideal that all are entitled to the basic guarantees of our justice system. This is a triumph for the rule of law.

“The rights of due process are among our most cherished liberties, and today’s decision is … a reminder of our responsibility to protect both the American people and our Constitutional rights. We cannot allow the values on which our country was founded to become a casualty in the war on terrorism.”

“I welcome Ms. Pelosi to the Irey Campaign Team, and hereby deputize her as a Colonel in the Irey Army – because in releasing that statement, she rebukes Jack Murtha for his reckless condemnation of U.S. Marines at Haditha and his unilateral decision to deprive them of THEIR rights of due process.

“Jack Murtha declared on May 17 that our Marines had ‘killed innocent civilians in cold blood’ – before the first Marine was charged, before the first court-martial was convened, before the first soldier was convicted. When he did that, he deprived our own soldiers of the very rights to due process that Nancy Pelosi extols.

“It’s an odd world, indeed, when Democrat leaders like Nancy Pelosi and Jack Murtha care more about making sure that people trying to kill us have rights to due process under the American legal system than they care about making sure that those very same rights apply to those courageous men and women sitting in the sands of Iraq, doing their best to defend us.

“I knew our campaign against Jack Murtha was making progress, but even I didn’t expect to have the top Democrat in the House joining our team so soon.”

I have to give Ms. Pelosi credit on this one. The sign of a true Statesman is someone who puts the good of the country above partisan politics. I admit I’m a bit surprised as I have rarely witnessed that level of Statesmanship on the part of the leaders of the democrat party. But this time Ms. Pelosi has risen to that level.

Murtha Must Go and Let Freedom Ring and California Conservative have MUCH more.

Speaking of Pelosi …. William at The Pirates Cove is devoted the day to Nancy Pelosi. All Pelosi, All Day: Pelosi on rights for terrorists, Pelosi in support of publicizing super secret information, Pelosi’s exhaustive work ethic, Pelosi’s hypocrisy, Pelosi on women’s rights. Wow, that’s a lot of Pelosi for one day [not mentioning the Pelosi in the bikini!]
