Can the Pentagon charge Kevin Sites?
Posted on 11/16/2004 1:07:33 PM PST by nothernlights
Was not the reporter under the duty to hand over this tape to military authorities,under the rules of imbeds? If that's the case then strong measures should be taken against Sites. Also has Sites been removed from that Marine unit,because at this point i"m sure his presence is a distraction to the Marines and therefore endangers their lives. Sites has to be removed from that unit at the very least.

Please proofread before posting. I am weary of wading through the piles of gibberish you are wont to post.

Sites main motivation is self promotion,not making a better war. Last time I checked, being an ambitious self-promoter is not a crime. If ti was, most politicians of both parties would be in jail.

Motive is the fist step in proving a crime. At this point I will not discuss this anymore and until the USMC actually announces that the tape was vetted by them, I will assume that he illegally handed over the tape to MSNBC.

If it hadn't been for Sites' betrayal, we never would have heard of this. Since "this" is a perfectly justified act of self-defense (in the context of dealing with an enemy that shows no compunctions about playing possum in order to spring a trap), who cares whether or not we hear of it?

I want every would-be jihadist to see this tape. For every one it recruits (who would've been recruited anyway), it will deter two.

Motive is the fist step in proving a crime. Umm, no it's not. Despite what you might have learned on TV, motive is irrelevant when it comes to actually proving a crime.
I will assume that he illegally handed over the tape to MSNBC.
It is not illegal to hand over video in violation of embed rules. All that can happen is that the reporter in question can be sent home.

To: Polybius
Because America's enemies will not spend a single second analyzing what actually happened and will gleefully portray the video as a clear cut case of murder regardless of the facts. Oh, puh-leeze. They will portray the occupation of Iraq as a fascist imperialist bla bla bla war for oil regardless of what is or is not made known to the American people.

Once again you are wrong motive is always involved in proving a crime and my knowledge of such legal matters does not stem from TV but from being a lawyer. Second you have no actual knowledge of what penalties are attached to breaking imbed rules. Certainly I would refer you to the incident with Mr Rivera,and at the time he was facing a lot more then being sent home.
So please inform yourself and substantiate your pronouncements with facts.

I'm thinking this is the equivalent of the bombing of the "milk factory" in GWI. Where is Peter these days?

We hear of it only because the MSM saw an opportunity for a leftist spin. You obviously don't get it. I'm not afraid of the truth, but I am concerned about the effect that the MSM has on public opinion and morale within the military.
As I mentioned before, it seems like only yesterday that I heard Walter Cronkite reporting on his take of the situation in Vietnam after the 1968 Tet offensive. He took a trip to Vietnam and returned with a report that called it a stalemate when most everyone in the miltary was saying the opposite. In fact, we never lost a major battle during the nearly ten years we were there. But how did the MSM paint it? Do you remember?

Once again you are wrong motive is always involved in proving a crime and my knowledge of such legal matters does not stem from TV but from being a lawyer. Um, I guess you weren't paying attention in criminal law. Shall we recap- what are the two elements of a crime? Actus reus and mens rea. If you think mens rea = motive, you really were not paying attention. As an example, tell me, what is the motive of somebody who commits vehicular homicide while drunk driving?
Second you have no actual knowledge of what penalties are attached to breaking imbed rules. Certainly I would refer you to the incident with Mr Rivera,and at the time he was facing a lot more then being sent home.
Please point out any provisions of the military embed rules that allow for penalties other than shipping an embed home:

I'm not afraid of the truth Nonsense. Your hostility to Poohbah's "let the truth be seen, warts and all" position reveals otherwise.
I am concerned about the effect that the MSM has on public opinion
Public opinion is a healthy republic is shaped by access to as wide a variety of information as possible, within legitimate constraints of national security and personal privacy.
I'm sure that left-wing Democrats are "concerned" about the effect rational economic analysis has on "public opinion" toward their agenda. By your reasoning, Democrats should be allowed to suppress the study of economics.
