On the front lines

Kevin Sites Blog
Kevin Sites apparently hasn't had a chance to update his blog since witnessing the shooting of an injured Iraqi insurgent by a U.S. Marine.

This story is getting huge play and shows signs of turning into the "second coming" of Abu Graib.

I worry that this incident might be taken out of context. Some people seem to almost laugh when they here the explanation that the Marine may have been acting in self defense. What threat could wounded guy pose?

Well he could pose quite a threat, since we're told many insurgents booby trap dead bodies and themselves. Was this guy actually faking being dead as the Marine thought? Did this Marine actually believe his life and the lives of others could be in jeopardy?

We may never know the answers to those questions. But Sites was there and saw it with his own eyes. So I'm anxious to see what he writes about it on his personal blog.
