A US marine filmed apparently shooting dead an injured Iraqi in a Falluja mosque last year may not be formally charged, according to media reports.
Military investigators have concluded there is not enough evidence to prosecute over the shooting, US television network CBS news says.
However, the US military said the investigation had not been completed.
"The facts of this case are being thoroughly pursued to make an informed decision," a Marine statement said.

According to an earlier report, Gen. Hagee says this guy is still being investigated. The Beeb is just trying to generate anti-American outrage that a soldier killed a murdering terrorist POS before he could kill more Americans.
Apologize to that Marine, give him a cigar and send him back to work killing scumbags.
Isn't this what he was supposed to do?
A promotion, A medal and thirty days leave! How about a bounty on all of the Terrorists!

The MSM must be devastated.
'Bout F'n time a US soldier is free to do his job....
I'm sorry to hear that, if this is they guy I've been wondering about.
We put these young kids in terrible situations, he shot someone who could have had explosives. Don't know, wasn't there, all I do know is I think he had every right to protect himself and his fellow armed forces around him. Perhaps they should just talk to the armed forces that were there with him, do they blame him? If not, then just set him free and get over it.
Pukes that have never walked though the site of a recent firefight --- where any of the crumpled "corpses" on the ground might still be capable of killing you, should be required to do so before being permitted to critize the actions of a young Marine doing exactly that.....
One does not approach and take neck pulses, or ignore the actual or imagined movement of a "corpse".....
Carelessness, hesitation or a mistake -- can lead to your own and your brother's death...
Semper Fi
Right again Marine.
You and I both know every thing you said is correct. The problem is that very few in the MSM ever laced up a pair of combat boots in their lives and hate the military especially the Marine Corps and everything it represents.
Semper Fi,

Good!
Anyone heard anything out of Sipes lately?
