Murtha either plays with the team or is used to chum the waters if he acts according to his nature. Murtha is on the Appropriations Committee, which does not seem like a committee that would be briefed on terror related issues. Murtha also does not appear to be the senior ranking Dem on the committee either. Bringing Murtha on board does not seem to have any downside. He either pulls his weight or gets outed for sandbagging the team. Assuming that Murtha urged publishing the classified information, the only surprising part is that he was outed by the NYT, but Rove was probably responsible for that too.
