Sites is disloyal to men who befriended him and took him in their confidence. If you see nothing wrong in the behavior of that weasle, you definitely are lost.

Showing what they're doing--assuming that it's on the up-and-up--is betraying their confidence?

Did Sites agree to omerta? I don't recall the USMC being a Mob outfit.

And you still have yet to justify extrajudicial killing of an American citizen--i.e., murder--by persons employed the Federal Government.

Once upon a time at FR, we opposed Janet Reno and other practitioners of Arkanicide.

Now we cheer them on...

your points been made are you going to challenge everyone here?

What is you axe to grind?

Perhaps you are Mr. Sites himself!

This Marine had to make a quick decision. He made it. Don't compare him to a mobster. This scum of a reporter could have discretely handled this. If in doubt, he could have reported it to the soldier's officer. Instead, he and NBC exploit it, undercut our cause in the Moslem world, and hang the kid out to dry.

And you use the metaphor you did. Get lost.

How did that 1993 Clinton inauguration quote go... "Why are there jets here?" "They're ours now!"

I believe the dichotomy is the result of frustration at holding a minority belief - that is, the indiscriminate slaughter of Iraqis and indeed all Muslims is justified.

This belief is opposed by all right-thinking people who rightly recoil at the thought, and FReepers are frustrated that those right-thinking people include President Bush and officers of the United States military.

That marine did exactly what he should have done. To do otherwise would have been irresponsible and likely exposed himself and his fellow marines to death and mayhem.

The reporter OTH presented his film with what appears to be an attempt to get the marine in trouble and cast aspersions on our troops.

You seem eager to join him, but, at least as far as I've read so far, you can't quite find anything actually wrong with what the marine DID.

You have had to try to disparage him by making him blameworthy just because some freepers would like to see the propagandist reporter pay for the reporter's attempted assault on the Marine, on the Marines, and on the USA.

It's pretty obvious you're looking for some excuse to jump on this Marine who performed exactly as he should have.

Why is that? Why do you want find this young man guilty of something when you damn well know better?

If you're upset by the understandable rage of some posters, why do you feel required to stick that on the Marine?
