I'm sorry, I have not read all the posts. Which network is attacking this soldier? What can we do to help?

I too, am outraged by the MSM replacement for Abu Gharib! These jerks are thrilled when they can "get something" (in their twisted minds)on our guys. Whatever we can do, let's just do it! I, unfortunately have nothing but liberal congress members, and senators from my blue state of Calif., and will get NO support from Feinstein, Farr, and Boxer you can be sure, but I will write the president and everyone else to support this guy and get rid of the NBC traitor!

I'm with you. I contacted my Congresscritter's office and will go through the list of contact email/addresses that get posted here.

There is no way this kid should take a fall for this.

Wouldn't be ashame if some of the "embedded" didn't quite get the same protection "attention" as they had in the past?

Every advertiser who buys air time on any NBC program -- including local sponsors -- needs to be identified and boycotted. That takes time, organization, sacrifice and determination. That's what it's going to take.

I'm in Charlottesville VA. I just called my Senator (John Warner (R), Chairman of the Armed Services Committee)........

(202) 224-2023

.......I got a Secretary and asked if they were taking opinion-phone calls on the Marine being lynched by the media for his shooting a terrorist. She said, "Yes", and I told her I hoped Senator Warner would be supporting these young men who are out there doing their duty in extremely difficult conditions. I further said that I have been watching the news and felt that the MEDIA was trying to lynch this young man and I hoped that the Senator would try and tamp down the hysteria the media was trying to generate over this.

I ended by adding that Sen. John Kerry got a Purple Heart for the same type of thing.

Here is an e-mail I sent to the Dirt-bag who made the film. Trust me my friends it was all I could do to not go off real bad on him. I have also e-mailed the President and Vice President and called the Commandantof the Marine Corps office. We gotta help this kid and all of our military. I don't want to see the MSM turn this into a whine fest the way they did Vietnam.

Mr Sites
I felt compelled to write to you in light of your alleged charges against a marine in Fallujha, Iraq. I think your film and commentary are the most disgusting display of journalism I have ever read from a disgusting profession. I think you should be charged with treason for releasing your film to the public. Don't you know that every derogatory line that you people broadcast about our government or military gives aid and comfort to the terrorist. Aren't you intelligent enough to see that. I truly hope and pray that some dark night Mr al Zarqoui pays you a visit and I get to see you on your sorry ass begging for your life. I don't think there is anyone in the United States that would lift a finger to help you. There are millions of angry Americans this morning and remember you have to come back here some day. Instead of a Pulitzer I think your career is over.

It has not been proven the Iraqi was still alive. He moved slightly ONLY when a soldier kicked the corpse.

Besides, these same marines had experience with Iraqi's faking being dead, and then ambushing our guys.

The military tribunal should find him guilty of nothing more than desecrating a corpse, and at most, given 7 days of confinement to barracks along with K.P. duty.

I agree with every word..including supporting pulling out if they hang him out to dry...except I would support pulling out the PC politicians from their jobs who will fail to support this soldier as well. But I won't mention any names. You know, a bird in the hand is worth two in the bush, unless of course you're powell.

Hey, this war is coming to the US soon. {Largest mosque being built in Boston etc} Soon we will all be soldiers. If we don't support and protect this Marine, there will be nobody around to protect US when we are accused by the government gestapo of war crimes when we were only defending our homes and families.

It's coming...and we are allowing it.

It is time to STAND..and this Marine is a good place to start.

Keep us posted. I am outraged by the actions of the MSM, continually pushing negative news on us, trying to find something to hang the US with.

I remember watching a documentary on Iwo Jima and the mop up operations that followed the battle. Any Japanese soldier who was suspected of "playing dead" was shot. Period. You either legitimately surrendered or you were legitimately shot.

If this guy was pretending to be dead, (and apparently he was) then it was proper for him to be shot whether he was armed or not.

Flood ABC, NBC, CBS, CNN MSNBC and FOX with calls and emails.

Media Contact List as of 3/04:

http://www.freerepublic.com/focus/f-news/1105724/posts

I would also recommend calling NBC affiliates. Ask for the both the Genral Manager and the Sales Director. Sales hates to find out that you will be contacting local sponsors. I wrote a letter of complaint to the FCC about NBC and my local affilate for airing this tape in the first place.

This guy is screwed - wait until Bush & Co let him hang over this, to show how well intentioned and forward-thinking they are.

".MSM is SICK. Other suggestions?"

Oh, their not sick. They are very healthy Communists.

The only suggestion I can think of is to make them accountable for the job they do. Hell, everyone has to be accountable. Why should these A-holes be able to lie and manipulate the truth to fit their agenda. New laws to fine the hell out of them, if caught lying, or misrepresenting a story, or showing bias.
