NBC cameraman an anti-war activist

Kevin Sites, the NBC cameraman who shot video of the controversial shooting of a Fallujah insurgent by a U.S. Marine, is an anti-war activist whose photographs of Iraqi prisoners are featured on at least one anti-war website.

Sites was embedded with the 3rd Battalion, 1st Marine Regiment in Fallujah when he shot the video of the Marine shooting an injured enemy fighter in a mosque. From the dialogue on the footage, it appeared the Marines were unsure if the insurgent was dead or faking death. Some fighters in Iraq have feigned death only to pull out a weapon or blow themselves up to kill Americans.

The U.S. military is investigating the incident to determine what happened and what, if any, punitive action should be taken against the Marine.

Sites was serving as a pool cameraman, giving access to the video to many networks.

Images Against War is one website where Sites' photography appears, giving two separate pages to his work. One of the pages, labeled "Kevin Sites 2," features photos of captured Iraqis with one caption saying detainees on a truck were enduring "a long ride into uncertainty." Most of the photos featured on the site engender sympathy toward U.S. enemy fighters and antipathy toward American military personnel.

Images Against War, which is based in Germany, has a comments page where posters have lashed out at Sites.

"The kindest things I can say about you is that you are a traitor and a terrorist sympathizer," writes one poster. "I would say I feel pity for you, but that would be a lie. All I feel for you is disgust. … Shame on you. I look forward to the day that the betrayal of this Marine haunts your every moment."

Dennis Karr posted: "Kevin Sites has to be the lowest of the low, a traitor for sure, only breathing right now because of our brave soldiers whom he surely hates."

Wrote yet another: "Good luck riding along with our troops now ... you're going to need it."

Sites also has his own blog. Here is part of his entry for Nov. 10, when he was accompanying Marines on their assault on Fallujah:

" The Marines I'm embedded with are nearly ebullient. This looks to be a cakewalk. One jokes they'll be sipping 'pina coladas by the Euphrates River by fifteen-hundred.'"

In his account, Sites describes dead Iraqis in detail and says the Marines are "operating with liberal rules of engagement."

His site includes a disclaimer explaining he is a freelance journalist on assignment for NBC, "but this site is a personal website not affiliated with or funded by NBC News."

Sites' bio says he was captured by Iraqi Fedayeen militia outside Tikrit while traveling with Kurdish fighters and spent four hours in captivity before being released.

Keep the friggin press away from our people fighting this war. No good can come from it. They cannot be trusted again. Ever.

[rimmont]

The Marines should take that camera crew into the roughest part of Fallujah and ditch them.

[Ruth C]

One...features photos of captured Iraqis with one caption saying detainees on a truck were enduring "a long ride into uncertainty.

Too bad he doesn't put a picture of a kidnapped Americans next to this and the next one with the American being beheaded.. he could caption that one 'a long torture into the certainty of death'

Next time, all the Marines should just let him take the lead and check on the guy to see if he's booby-trapped. If he is the guy can shoot him with the camera as he dies in the bomb blast...one anti-war embed gone :)

[crazyhorse691]

The embedded journalist has an axe to grind. Another professional journalist with very little character. When the story first broke, I gave him the benefit of the doubt because I had no reason not to. Much to the dismay of the MSM truth is not their exclusive domain(uncharted territory for some of them). This man is a traitor.

[LibertyRocks]

Don't forget GECC (General Electric Credit Corp.)

[elbucko]

I wonder if the passengers on the flights of 9/11 would have preferred to have the likes of this "cameraman" on board, or four young Marines, armed and prepared to kill, if necessary, like the one in Fallujah?

[xJones]

No WONDER, indeed. That low-life, left wing agenda-driven #%*@!

[mowowie]

This guy looks like a tool. I bet he has that embedded British accent too.

[Extremist]

Please, if any of you have loved ones there, let them know (as if they don't already) the MSM are there to sabbotage the mission. That NBC slug should be culled and forced to return to the U.S. by his own devices. He, nor any other MSM rep, deserves not one bit of protection from our troops.

Call me sick, but what kind of shakeup would transpire if an American Soldier shot a true enemy, an enemy such as an NBC REPORTER???

THIS IS INCORRECT INFORMATION: "Images against the war" website took Sites' photos without permission. Kevin Sites may be anti war but not based on the info from WND you posted.

[xm177e2]

The only evidence they have that he's an "activist" is that some activists published his work on their websites?

[MeekOneGOP]

[ChristianDefender]

Yeah...we can BOYCOTT all their stuff... but were not that strong enough if we'll do it on our way... let God bring punishment to those who let themselves be governed and taken control of by evil...

Soon these companies will file bankruptcy... we'll have have our victory...

Onward Christian Soldiers...

The only mistake that young Marine made was to not shoot the enemy informant from nbc

[ChristianDefender]

Tnx a lot... well at least we know now why that Terrorist Puppet is so against with our soldiers effort to save even himself from terrorism...

[xJones]

Thank you, dennisw, I simply don't understand why he was embedded with the Marines, witnessed all the action, and took a very selective video tape which was promptly released and al-Jezaara has been showing it.
