Rush to judgement without the facts tards. You do Dan Rather proud.
For myself, I will wait until it is investigated and the details and facts are made public. Anyone who forms his opinion on this based solely on what CBS or CNN says is a squealing moron of epic proportions.
So, ignore the tactic the insurgents have been using, faking dead and then opening fire. Also ignore the recent tactic of booby trapping the wounded and the dieing, so as our troops attempt to give aid, they are blown up. Ignore that armchair warriors, so you can sit in judgement without any facts.
If that Marine was at fault, it will be discovered, and he will suffer the consequences of his actions.
Personally, I will mourn no insurgents death, regardless of how he was killed. I certainly have no illusion about how that would have gone down if that had been an American wounded surrounded by insurgents with the rifles in hand. Wasn't that long ago 4 Marines were found executed, remember that? Think they were treated in accordance with the "rules of war"? War is hell, and those that think Americans will always act in the purest manner are deluded.
This stuff happens in every war, and in large scale. Just most have enough sense not to do it on camera. It is very possible the Marine was in fear of his life and suspected that the insurgent was about to attempt to kill them.
