Patrick Murphy fights back against Allen West (R-Crazytown), notes torture incident.
After Brave Sir Allen ran an ad making light of a 2003 disorderly intoxication charge against Murphy when he was a 19 year old college student, it looks like Murphy's not pulling punches. He just released an ad that mentions the 2003 UCMJ charges pressed against West, a 42 year old Lieutenant Colonel, where he conducted an illegal mock execution on an Iraqi detainee which did not result in any actionable intelligence. The incident ultimately resulted in West's hasty retirement from the Army.

Allen West's Military Record Attacked In New Ad: 'Faced 11 Years In Prison'
Posted: 10/02/2012 12:29 pm EDT
WASHINGTON -- The gloves are officially off in the race between Rep. Allen West (R-Fla.) and his Democratic challenger, Patrick Murphy.
Less than a week after West's campaign released a brutal ad featuring Murphy's mugshot from a 2003 arrest for disorderly intoxication, Murphy's campaign hit back on Tuesday with an ad highlighting West's illegal actions in the military that ultimately led to him being relieved of his command.
"You need the facts about Allen West in 2003," says the narrator in the Murphy ad, which begins by showing a clip of West's ad from last week.
"West was criminally charged with violating the Uniform Code of Military Justice, found guilty of three counts of aggravated assault and relieved of his command. The final Army report: West 'performed illegal acts ... merited court martial ... faced 11 years in prison,'" continues the narrator. "Allen West. He just isn't who he says he is."
