I think Geraldo made an honest mistake with what he did.. I'm not so quick to jump on him like alot have. He has spent alot of time with the troops and you can see it in him that he genuinely loves those guys.
Just saw an interview with Bret Baier of Fox News. He talked to Abizaid about Marine incident. Abizaid said that the incident would be investigated and that the have the UCMJ to handle any problems, BUT he said that one has to look at the conditions in Fallujah.
He mentioned the cells, the places where be-headings had taken place, the stocks of ammuntions and firearms. In other words, I think he was telling the MSM is a not so subtle way, that it would be prudent to tell the WHOLE story of Fallujah, not just this one incident.
Good for him, and good for Bret to get it from the main-man himself.
