"Moral to the story: If you are being filmed
by journalists, do them as well."
As I watched the tape I realized that the camera was so close to the two terrorists on the ground that if one had exploded the F...n reporter would be dead. One has to be a morron to get that close to a terrorist in Iraq knowing how they strap explosives on their butts to kill westerners?
A very good point. I wonder if protecting the reporter had anything to do with the Marine's decision to kill the terrorist? Some thanks, eh?
Amen to that. I can't help but think of the climactic scene in The Professional with the dying hit man extending his hand to the dirty police officer and handing him the pin to a grenade.
This reporter should be thankful that the marines were there to protect him from these terrorists.
