BOR does have two brain cells.
Col. North wrote a good article on this also. NBC made sure that all the Arab networks got a copy of this shooting also.
I agree wholeheartedly with him on the article but I've never heard this story about O'Reilly being in the Falklands War. What's that all about?
Can you point me to that srticle, please?
TERRORIST.
There's an online petition in support of the Marine :

It's almost up to 150 000 signatures !
That's the obvious truth of the matter.
Thanks I signed it.
It was posted on townhall.com and dated November 19.
Do you have the link to the North piece.
If you would ping me, I would appreciate it.
Thank you.
Semper Fi,

Thanks. Just signed it.
They need to be cut lots and lots of slack.
Pray for them.
Sorry, I don't. I am sure that North has it on his web site if you would use a search engine.
What can we do to punish NBC for anti-American activities, consorting with the enemy and conduct unbecoming a news outlet? These decontextualized tapes were obviously intended to provoke international outrage. We need to do something to punish NBC.
Here is the Col. North article.

I found this on his bio in FNC home page
After receiving his Master's degree, O'Reilly began his television news career in Scranton, Pennsylvania, followed by stops in Dallas, Denver, Portland, Oregon, Hartford, and Boston. He received an Emmy Award for his report on sky-jacking at KMGH-TV in Denver. In 1980, he anchored his own program on WCBS-TV in New York and received an Emmy Award during his tenure there. Later he became a CBS News correspondent covering the wars in El Salvador and the Falkland Islands, among other assignments.
His decision might have been reasonable, understandable, safe, well advised, based on experience, good for the mission and good for the survival of his team. The problem is that it also may be illegal under the rules of engagement. It's a PR issue to us, but this Marine's neck is shortly going to be up on the chopping block because of our Marquis de Queensbury combat etiquette.
