A US marine has sparked world-wide revulsion after being seen shooting an injured and helpless Iraqi.
The sickening scene was broadcast by Channel 4 News after a fire-fight in the rebel stronghold of Fallujah.
The trigger-happy soldier had been asked to get nearer to the injured man.
But instead of trying to capture him, the marine is seen leaning over a wall and cold-bloodedly shooting him.
He then turns to his colleagues and says: "He's gone". Coalition chiefs were last night under pressure to investigate the incident

Who are we to judge this soldier in the middle of a brutal battle. What did the camera NOT show us?

I'll withhold judgement, I do know that these guys have "pretend surrendered" then whipped out a weapon on many occasions.

The terrorist shooting at him probably...
Keep in mind that when Kerry was accused of the same, there was no revulsion.

"Go get near that terrorist. He's been shot, so he's surely harmless."
Yeah right. No wonder the British hide up our skirts.
