Pelley was bad enough, but worse was the editing hatchet job performed by CBS with ulterior motives.

Perhaps CBS 60 minutes might get a clue that every,...not just a few wars they don;t like, but EVERY was in human history has resulted in far greater civilian casualties than military casualties.

One simple indicator that this occurs is when people vote with their feet in a war zone. Those voting with their feet are called refugees. They leave war zones by the 100s of thousands. They don't leave because they choose to sort of go on vacation. They leave their homes, their businesses, their livelihoods,...nearly all of their possessions, their homelands over many generations, sometimes their families and spouses, because if they remain their lives are at risk.

Likewise, if a criminal commits an act of murder such as setting off a roadside bomb, when nobody else is around, except for themselves,...and then begin to take pot shots at the armed authorities who were targetted, the prudent, legitimate response is not to hide, nor to give refuge to the criminal, but to assist the legitimate authority in bringing the criminals under arrest.

The inhabitants could have assisted the Marines. They could have pointed fingers to the culprits. They could have left the area with their hands up. They didn't. They remained in a house from which hostile fire had been received.

Pelley now wants to bash the Squad Leader for dead children after a grenade is thrown in to gain control of the situation.

Say Pelley,...why did you want to not only see a squad taken out, but all the other families in the area, all innocent bystanders and encourage other insurgents to gain an upper hand before other reinforcements could arrive?

Why does Pelley want to see unarmed innocent civilians butchered by insurgents hiding amongst innocent bystanders and worse destroy legitimate authority so that other criminals will prevail?

The real criminals in this situation are the heartless, cold blooded murderers and criminals within 60 minutes who reject legitimate authority and support roadside bombers, murderers who hide behind innocent children, and encourage criminal violent behavior.

Say 60 Minutes,...God has special place for children who are killed before the age of accountability. He also has a special place for those who attack legitimate authority, crying peace, peace, when they condone and promote war, but never prior to their first death come to accept Him through faith in Christ.
