I guess that's because they prefer the company of terrorists, too, and prefer not to draw attention to their preferences.
I also notice that they missed my suggestion, which was to have Mr. Sites and other of his ilk be the ones to precede the arrival of the Marines for the purpose of testing the vital signs of any downed terrorists they come across to see if they are still capable of pulling a trigger, a knife, or letting go of a grenade. The journalists and camaermen can frisk them for weapons and other such things first, so as to save our much more valuable Marines the trouble and risk of doing it. Think of how many wounded mass murderers a journalist can save by going in there first to separate the incapacitated deadly chaff from the "just playing dead" deadly chaff.
After all, reporters are common, are mostly useless, are careless, prone to get people killed, corrupt, and expandable- in other words, they can be replaced to better effect by just about anyone. But Marines are precious - they are essential for preserving our liberties- even those of undeserving, spineless, terrorist-pandering journalists.
The same thought came to my mind, since Sites (and other MSM idiots) apparently think that identifying "harmless wounded" from "still a threat wounded" on the battlefield is so easy that it's fair to play Monday-morning-quarterback on the national news and smear a Marine.
So let the reporters do it. While the Marines watch. While their cameramen tape the results and broadcast them.
#29......I have thought of this also and think it is an excellent idea.
