** ADVANCE FOR FRIDAY NOV. 25 -- FILE ** U.S. Sen. Dick Durbin, D- Ill., left, and U.S. Rep. John P. Murtha, D-Pa., discuss the details of the $87 billion request for Iraq and Afghanistan reconstruction as Senate and House conferees meet to negotiate President Bush's aid package, on Capitol Hill in Washington, Tuesday, Oct. 28, 2003. From a back seat on the House floor, Murtha has built a reputation for being more workhorse than show horse. It was a surprise to some when the 73-year-old Vietnam War veteran spoke out last week to demand the withdrawal of U.S. forces from Iraq, though colleagues, analysts and retired Marines say the move simply reflected the long-held convictions of the congressman.
