The military command launched an investigation after video footage showed a U.S. Marine shooting a wounded and unarmed man in a mosque in the city on Saturday. The man was one of five wounded and left in the mosque after Marines fought their way through the area.

I'd really like to know why editors let their reporters get away with stuff like this.. I mean, yeah, I know, media bias, but there is a line one can cross... '...a man who later was shown to be unarmed and wounded...' The funny thing is that they'll bend over backwards to say 'allegedly' about any murderer, yet a soldier doesn't even get the same grace.

"I would have shot the insurgent too. Two shots to the head," said Sergeant Nicholas Graham, 24, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.

The lamestream media doesn't even mention the "unarmed iraqi civilian" was an insurgent terrorist. Sgt. Graham has it right except for one thing-- the marine should've shot the embedded enemy propogandist first.
