This Marine had to make a quick decision. He made it.

And he'll have to answer some tough questions about it.

Don't compare him to a mobster.

I'm not. But a bunch of FR wants the Marines to act like the Mob and snuff witnesses.

I'm far more interested in how FReepers are demanding that the journalist be put to death, without trial, for shooting this footage and passing it to NBC.

Now, if the tape is as open-and-shut as you describe, the Marine's got nothing to worry about, and there shouldn't be any heartburn about showing it.

But, instead, everyone's acting as if this is some horrible sin, and must not see the light of day, even as they cheer this Marine on.

The duality is really interesting.

If there is one thing that this war is known for, it is the sheer number of suicide attacks by innocent looking jihadis wearing explosive vests.

Earlier in the war, 3 soldiers lost their lives by approaching a pregnant women crying for help who exploded when they got close.

In the Battle of Fallujah, such deaths have already occurred.

I envision justice for Sites as follows:

A squad of Marines checks out a building with supossedly dead or wounded jihadis inside.

"What do you think, Smitty? Are they really dead or are they just playing possum with wired C4 explosives under their bellies."

"Hell, if I know but we need to find out."

"Mr. Sites, you fancy yourself as being pretty good at knowing who's harmless and who's not. Go in there and find out if those jihadis are harmless. We'll wait for you across the street."
