Marine executes wounded man in mosque

http://www.cnn.com/2004/WORLD/meast/...obe/index.html


"In the video, a Marine was seen noticing that one of the men appeared
to be breathing.

A Marine approached one of the men in the mosque saying, "He's
[expletive] faking he's dead. He's faking he's [expletive] dead."

The Marine raised his rifle and fired into the apparently wounded man's
head, at which point a companion said, "Well, he's dead now." "

He failed to mention, the booby trapped bodies, the illegal use of white
flags, that the insurgents had been wounded the day before (leaving open
that they may have continued to fight), and that the soldier has been
removed from the unit, and faces disciplinary action.

Sure wasn't much of an outrage when they behead innocent civilians, but
then you have to remember the politics of the news groups promoting it.

Your reason for posting this is what?

What is your point?

So perhaps the terrorists will realize that faking being wounded is a bad
thing, and they should stop doing that.
Kind of like there've been several isntances where the terrorists would fake
a surrender, then open fire when the coalition troops woild move in.

Perhaps there would be less outrage of the Marine had chosen to decapitate
the wounded man?
After all, these chaps seem to find that acceptable, right?

We always hear about how our actions will "anger the Arab street". No one
seems to care how what the terrorists do would affect us.
Now we see it.

It is a shame - after all the chap has pretty much ruined his life.

Was it an oversight on your part where you left out this part of the
article?

-------------------------------------------------------------------------

The Marine in the videotape has been removed from his unit and taken to
the headquarters of the 1st Marine Expeditionary Force, and the Navy's
Criminal Investigative Service said it plans to question one of the
other wounded Iraqis as part of the probe, according to the pool
reporter embedded with the unit.

"Let me make it perfectly clear: We follow the law of armed conflict and
we hold ourselves to high standard of accountability," Marine Lt. Gen.
John F. Sattler said Tuesday. "The facts of this case will be thoroughly
pursued to make an informed decision and to protect rights of all
persons involved."

The investigation will determine whether the Marine violated any rules
or should be charged with any crime. Lt. Col. Bob Miller, a staff judge
advocate for the 1st Marine Division, said wounded insurgents who pose
no threat generally "would not be considered hostile."

I'd call life in prison more than just "disciplinary action".

Me? I would have had the camera turned off first.

I heard he was faking it, and going for his ankle holster.

The only working atomic bomb platforms the

Good. One less person shooting at our troops. Next time, don't fake it.
But then, didn't Kerry do something like that? Shoot a wounded kid running?
