We are a civilized people - we are a society of laws. And I am sure this will be thoroughly investigated and handled properly.
But the MSM has already tried and convicted this young marine and will use this event to spread propoganda about our troops and place them in more danger. What's civilized, responsible and just about that?
True. If someone heard otherwise, please let me know, since I have jumped in late. But, I was on my way to the gym at 7PM local time, and I heard the CBS Radio National News. Believe it or not, the coverage of this incident was somewhat fair. They even said "military experts have commented that faking death and booby trapping dead bodies is a common tactic", or something like that. The guy who wrote that copy probably was fired and replaced with Mary Mapes writing the script. I fear that the MSM will try to turn this into Abu Ghraib II.
