The Laughing Wolf

Marine Shooting Media Trial

Cox and Forkum sum things up beautifully with "Watch Your Six". Blackfive and Hook say it far better than I can. What bothers me the most about this is that the reporter apparently gave the tape to Al-J and Al-Reuters -- one or both of which are anti-American progaganda outlets -- before he gave it to anyone else including the military. In other words, he was more interested in glory and headlines for him, and giving aid to the enemy, than justice for anyone. He also did so knowing that it would place Americans and American troops in harms way. This was not a breathless crusade to see justice done, but a grab for glory with other people paying a blood price.
