FALLUJA, Iraq (CNN) -- The U.S. military is investigating whether a Marine shot dead an unarmed, wounded insurgent during the battle for Falluja in an incident captured on videotape by a pool reporter.

The AP calls the insurgents "prisoners". They are/were not "prisoners". They were terrorists.
So, what if he did! That's one less terrorist to maybe kill one of our brave troopers!!!
Amen to that!!!
DITTO!!
One dead terrorists is one potentially saved American soldier.
I'm willing to look the other way on this one.
Looks like a killer faking death to me.
Am I a horrible person for hoping there's some terrorist attack or atrocity in Iraq tomorrow (as long as no U.S. soldiers are killed) that takes this damn story off the front pages?
I am?
I thought so.
So this is the big story now for the Bolshevik MSM.
No big story or film of woman with arms and legs cut off.
No picture of Van Gogh with his head nearly sliced off and a note impaled to his body.
How I detest these scum. May I get to see their downfall and disgrace.
The guy was doing his job. What's the problem?
I want to know why the USMC supply chain ran out of room-clearing grenades -- the proper and liberal use of which would render this entire media-created 'scandal' entirely moot.
The Geneva Convention decribes the rights that must be extended to the uniformed members of a legitimate military...and what can be done to those in combat who aren't.
Yes, I understand they follow the protocol for disembowelment and mutilation to a tee.
That term sounds quite pejorative.
I think I prefer "Objection Facilitators..."
The truth is that in this conflict you can never really know if a man is unarmed.
These terrorists and insurgents wear layers of robes that have hidden many a deadly bomb over the years. Perhaps this Marine may himself have lost friends to this treacherous brand of warfare. Our forces in Iraq are not fighting conventional forces and to try to fight them with conventional rules jeapordizes the lives of our fighting men.
And FauxNews is going allong with it...
I'm telling ya, FauxNews is nothing but a MSM wolf in sheeps clothing....
