Sites reported a Marine in the same unit had been killed just a day earlier when he tended to the booby-trapped dead body of an insurgent.

This explains a lot. I don't have a problem with it.

NBC's Robert Padavick told members of the U.S. television pool that the Pentagon had ordered NBC and other pool members to make sure the Marines identity was hidden because "they (the military authorities) are anticipating a criminal investigation as a result of this incident and do not want to implicate anybody ahead of that."

Five bucks says this poor G.I.'s name -- first, last, middle initial -- is all over the MSM airwaves within the next seventy-two hours... outside.

HOW LONG. how long do we put up with a media that is dead set on creating failure in Iraq? HOW LONG?

If he was worth tappin' once, might as well follow through.

Mr. Sites should be required to check out every dead and wounded terrorist for the Marines. What does he think he is, a referee? Has he written/videotaped any stories about terrorists pretending to surrender and then shooting at Marines? ...or about wounded terrorists trying to kill Marines? ...or about Marines killed by booby trapped wounded or dead terrorists? This scumbag is just trying to make a name for himself. I hope the Marines he's embedded with leave him a little less protected in the future.

God bless our armed forces.

And his hometown...

Until average people get PO'd enough to do something about it. When a crown shows up outside the NBC building, and the Naval Department, demanding that the media lynch mob be ignored, we may see some things change. These bastards are endangering our Marines with their psychological warfare.

Give this marine a medal other than the purple heart then. Well done.

Man, that's brilliant!

NBC's Robert Padavick

This surely will be the top story on the Today Show. I've sure either Perky or Baldy will be having ogasms interviewing this reporter.

Mr. Sites out to "watch his back"....

Betray a Marine isn't a good thing.

In WW II, the combat reporter would have voluntarily burned the film in front of the squad of Marines...

[SLB]

How many GI's lost their lives in wars to booby trapped bodies? The liberal press needs to be stopped at the Kuwait border and denied entry. Let these guys get on with the dirty business of war.

[Warrior_Queen]

It wouldn't bother ME if our troops started shooting at MSM reporters!

[Shortwave]

Kevin Sites is an little dork with an agenda. His agenda is mainly to get in the pants of liberal journalism students. I do digress, NBC is running with this as if the entire Marine Corp. is bad or corrupt. I however commend the Marine and this is the way you treat terrorist. 'Nuff said.

[MEG33]

Imus brought up that these Marines were not the ones who left the wounded ones there ..and Charles Sabine finally brought out all the dangers to the Marines of booby trapped bodies and feined death or wounded..Of course Imus is anti war..but at least he straightened out one misconception.

Also pointing out the Marine had been shot in the face the day before..This is why I put up with Imus some days.
This is the ONLY semi fair presentation I have seen and Imus says "tell Kevin Sikes to butt out"

[stopem]

AMEN!! I Pray for them daily. I cant even imagine the tremendous pressure these men and women are under day-to-day.
Maybe its time to stop the embeded media from following them??

"Betray a Marine isn't a good thing."

No better friend; no worse enemy. Sites has been looking to make his Seymore Hersh bones since he got there. They need to send him back to the States.
