NBC said on Monday that a U.S. Marine had shot dead an unarmed and wounded Iraqi prisoner in a mosque in Falluja.
Did NBC verify the terrorist was unarmed? The last (11/14/04) unarmed terrorist exploded in a Marines' face killing him. Did NBC verify that the terrorist was an Iraqi? Last time I checked there were 400 terrorists captured that weren't Iraqis. Did NBC verify that the terrorist was wounded? Was the camera man a doctor?
Now, let's say that everything the NBC report said is true. Maybe the Marine killed the terrorist to put him out of his misery? You (collective) would put a rabid dog out of his misery, wouldn't you?
All this Geneva Convention bull$hit (from the msm), when none of these terrorists are signers of the Protocols? And you (collective) know that if that terrorist somehow was treated for his wounds and survived, he would surely kill again. Not just a Marine or soldier, but you (collective).

Your rabid dog analogy stinks.
I have no clue what happened. I have no clue whether this marine was justified - whether the terrorist was armed or whether he looked like he was reaching for a weapon or whether the Marine executed the guy. I do think airing this video is irresponsible - this stuff should be dealt with by the Marines. I'm not saying we shouldn't learn about it, but I think we should learn about it in the context of the entire attack unless for instance, this was common policy - Marines offing wounded enemy combatants for the sport of it. I also don't think this Marine should be tried by ratings-driven network and cable news shows. This should be handled by the military police and the Marine's CO.
The national networks must get their act together or be taken off the air. After all, they are using our electromagnetic spectrum.
