I think Sites had at least a moral duty to protect the injured prisoners by warning the Marines entering the mosque that the injured men had been left there by a previous Marine patrol. Had Sites called out to the Marines, "Those guys are injured prisoners left by another patrol." there would have been no story.OK: Sites says that, the Marines are relaxed...
...and then one of the jihadis pops out a weapon and kills a Marine.
Would you be blaming Sites for that, instead?

Would you be blaming Sites for that, instead? No, and I won't expect the Marines "to relax". It seems to me that Sites was setting up his camera trying to find a "gotcha" moment.
