more along the lines that Mr. Sites life is in danger being around the Marines... I think the pentagon should revoke his embed privilages for his own safety.
I sincerely hope... But I'd rather the Marines dish out the justice.
Turn Sites over to the terrorist.
That tape should have gone to DOD for vetting first!!
The real question seems to be whether the tape has been edited for broadcast in a way that changes its interpretation.
I hope so.
The MSM's treatment of this war as just another "reality show" is dangerous for our troops.
That he is there for anti-US propaganda, and not to report the news is raTHer obvious. To protect our service men, he should be pulled from embedded work.
The US attorney general may be able to charge him with sedition.
Kevin Sites.
Remember that name.
I wrote Mr. S.......suggested he best hope he never needs one of our heroes to watch his back.
I hope the Marines advance and leave Sites behind...alone in Fallujah with his terrorist buddies.
NBC providing our enemies with a very useful propaganda tool. Al Jazeera should send them flowers. We know how scarce "truth" is in the Arab world.
This morning during Imus, Sites read a prepared statement saying, "Throughout this offensive I have seen the military act as a discipline and professional force... it was a confusing situation... Only the soldier knows his intent.."
Sites looked very nervous...
Greg Palcott (sp) of Fox said of the video:
"I have seen our troops operating under the most difficult conditions imaginable. The life and death of war. I have seen our soldiers treat civilians and detainees with care. I have seen them treat the places of worship with as much care as possible. My opinion, and it is an informed opinion, is that this was an isolated incident"
I think he has aided and abetted the enemy.
He should be charged as a traitor -- the government should make an example of him. This has GOT to STOP!
Can you imagine if anti-Americans were allowed to travel with U.S. troops and report anti-American sentiments directly to the world during WWII?
Michael Savage is on fire over this issue.
Saying on his radio program that Sites should be indicted and charged with treason.

Kevin Sites is a traitor. He shouldn't be allowed to get away with this. What was his intent? Promotion? In exchange for the lives of our soldiers which he has put in danger of retaliation?
As far as I can tell the marine did nothing wrong. But the only thing I see Sikes doing wrong is not getting the video cleared for any sensitive information. Nothing in the video betrayed confidential information. He should be punished for violating the rules, but he is no traitor. The difference between Sikes and Kerry is that Sikes is describing what DID happen, while Kerry described stuff that DIDN'T happen.
Those of you comparing Sikes to Kerry are implicitly endorsing that Kerry wasn't lying and slandering in Congress.
First, I think any war crimes trial in war is a joke. I have a feeling the army will make this soldier a scapegoat to appease the already increasing Arab backlash against the Fallujah assault and this incident. But, you can't apply such standards to a combat zone. Soldiers are trained to kill. Period. That is their job description and it is about time the US accepted that instead of wanting to believe somehow war can be made sanitary and safe.
However, it is very important the press report all sides of the war, and that includes the incredibly unpleasant realities that sometimes wounded people get shot for no other reason then they are there. Why? Because events such as this happen, and the American Public needs to be aware of all sides, not just those that make us look good.
Yes, Kevin Sites is a buttplug who jeopardizes the safety of our troops.
