Well, they won't do that.

Why the demand that the press not show allegedly OK acts? Why the demand for retaliation? Why the expenditure of all this energy on hoping for Sites' death?

BTW...the hard questions would come whether or not the camera was present.

You are upholding the finest traditions of the Corps.
This incident will be investigated, and would have been investigated weather the reporter was there or not.
The fact that his footage was not given to the military
does not reflect any credit to the reporter.

Semper Fi.

Why the demand that the press not show allegedly OK acts?

Because America's enemies will not spend a single second analyzing what actually happened and will gleefully portray the video as a clear cut case of murder regardless of the facts.

Because America's Liberal media will do likewise if it suits their political agenda.

Words are the ideal medium for complex situations.

Photos and videos are the medium of communication for those who don't want to be bothered with thinking. They are therefore the red meat of hate propaganda.

When the Abu Grahib case was described in words, the news media yawned.

When the red meat of the Abu Grahib photos came out, the Liberal news media and America's enemies went into a propaganda blitz that nearly derailed the American war effort.
