Can the Pentagon charge Kevin Sites?

[nothernlights]

Was not the reporter under the duty to hand over this tape to military authorities,under the rules of imbeds? If that's the case then strong measures should be taken against Sites. Also has Sites been removed from that Marine unit,because at this point i"m sure his presence is a distraction to the Marines and therefore endangers their lives. Sites has to be removed from that unit at the very least.

Beckwith, you can argue with these simpering placaters until the cows come home and they still won't get it. They are still trying to justify what the MSM started back in 1968 when Cronkite got back from Vietnam after Tet. Prior to that, this kind of reporting would have been blacked out. And rightly so.

[Modernman]

That footage should have been given to the proper military authorities if the concern was truly that a war crime was committed

The footage was given to the military authorities and they let Sites release it to his employers.

If there is nothing wrong with what happened on the tape, then why worry that it has been released into general circulation?

Sorry, the post was meant for Lady J.

Sites is in a WAR ZONE. He has aided the enemy.

How?

[Poohbah]

you show your morinic take.

You seem to be in need of an irony supplement...

The video is being used to arouse our enemies.

SFW? It's probably convincing a lot of other potential enemies that jihadists come to a pretty s**tty end.

Gotta use yout "brain"

You first, sir.

[Modernman]

Kevin Sites is a traitor.

Why? Because he reported something you would have rather not seen?

[Modernman]

If it hadn't been for Sites' betrayal, we never would have heard of this

Why is showing what actually happened a bad thing?

[Poohbah]

You're the simpering coward. You don't want to see the consequences of what you advocate.

I really hope every would-be jihadist with two or more brain cells (i.e., the smart ones) sees this tape. It will tell them that jihadis get killed off.

SO let's review if you witness a murder the first thing you do is run to your NBC affiliate, not the police station? That's the difference between the blue states and the red states. The Blues think that the most important thing in the world is to get their sorry faces on the tube. Ergo proliferation of idiotic shows like Fear Factor. Big Fat Boss, Really Big Fat Boss etc.

[Modernman]

This is the holdover attitude from the Clinton administration ala Vietnam.

I'll put you down as being in favor of the government lying or covering up the truth, then.

He went to the USMC first. They pulled the unit off the line, then OK'd the tape for release.

[Modernman]

So be it. If our cause is just, we should not fear the truth. If this Marine was in the right, what is the problem with releasing this tape?

[nothernlights]

You have no idea what happened to that footage.Plus If that was really the case they would not have allowed it released without pixillation,which it is now showing in the arab media, further endangering the Marines.

Not what happened here- Sites first gave this tape to the Marines, who cleared it for distribution.

Now, if I had tape of a cop killing somebody, I might be tempted to give it to the news first, for my own sake and to make sure it didn't "get lost."

The Blues think that the most important thing in the world is to get their sorry faces on the tube

I have no idea how this is relevant to the discussion at hand.

[nothernlights]

Once again I will not take your statement for truth, you have no idea. The USMC would not have allowed it released without pixillation. The pixillation on CNN,was done by them as they stated when they first broadcasted the video.

That's what I've been asking. I haven't heard a satisfactory answer. Only guilt seeks to hide.

I want that tape shown worldwide. I want potential jihadis to understand that the USMC will come down on them like the wrath of Jehovah.

[Modernman]

That's what I've been asking. I haven't heard a satisfactory answer. Only guilt seeks to hide.

I don't know if what the Marine did here was right or wrong. However, I cannot see how anyone can support trying to cover up this incident.

[nothernlights]

Sites main motivation is self promotion,not making a better war.
