I am outraged that anyone would question the actions of the marine who shot one of the "insurgents" dead even though he may have been wounded.

U.S. probes shooting at Fallujah mosque

Where are the stories about the 38 or so American troops that were killed trying to take Fallujah? Why is this terrorist bastard the focus of sympathy from our own press?!?

I'm only sorry that our guy had to waste a bullet.

I still don't understand this crap about sticking to the Geneva Conventions against an enemy that doesn't abide by them. It is known that the enemy forces sometines fake death and surrender in order to kill American troops that approach them looking to treat them or take them prisoner.

All of the "insurgents" are volunteers who had plenty of time to get the hell out and unlike the troops of civilized nations, they have the ability to just disappear. There would be no court martial waiting for these people. They chose to stay and having stayed, they chose to die. Good riddance.

As one commentator said this morning, the reporter who sent this directly to his newsroom should now be forced to check all supposedly dead bodies for booby traps.
