Some political observers believe Rep. Walter Jones, pictured right, is facing his toughest challenge yet in this year's primary.
{"Image ImageDescription": "WILMINGTON, NC  -  JUNE 3: Second Lt. Ilario Pantano, the Camp Lejeune Marine who was accused of murder in the shootings of two Iraqis last year said today he plans to resign, June 3, 2005, at the Wilmington, NC, VFW Lodge. At the announcment, he gave a gift to NC Third District Congressman Walter Jones(center). Jones has been one of his biggest political supporters. At right is Jill Pantano, his wife. Pantano faced an Article 32 hearing in the case, but the officer presiding over the hearing recommended that the charges be dropped. The intense scrutiny that came with the accusations have taken a toll, he said, adding it has been an \"unholy year\" for his family.
