I saw the video and the shooting seemed in no way justified. This is going to be a stink. And what does it say about his judgement that not only did he shoot but he did it in front of a reporter?

How can YOU say it wasn't justified. Do you know he didn't have a hand grenade in his hand, just waiting for the Marine to check and see if he was alive?
There were shot coming from the mosque, that is why they went back. Who was shooting? The guy was sitting by a window, maybe he just slid down the wall and waited. The point is you DON'T know -you weren't there. Are you going to be like the MSM and take the terrorist's side over the Marine's side?
I have been angry about the PC nature of this war since they brought that Sargent(?) up on charges for firing his gun BESIDE the head of a terrorist to scare him into giving up information that proved to save him men's lives. Didn't matter, he is OUT OUT OUT. How many lives might have been saved if he had stayed in.
Remember all of the Iraqi policemen and army men that were lined up and executed by terrorists dressing up in police and army uniforms?
Ever been in combat? Ever been shot at? Are you volunteering to go to Falluja and check the wounded AIF for explosives?
Investigate, but if there's any doubt I'll give the benefit of that doubt to the Marine.
