A copy of the video showing a US soldier shooting an injured Iraqi in a Fallujah mosque has been posted by jihadis on the Ansar message board.
In the video you can see the soldier yelling "He's [expletive] faking it, he's [expletive] faking it", then he shoots the soldier.
It is important to keep in perspective that there have been other incidents in Fallujah in recent days where terrorists have faked injuries and then attacked coalition soldiers.

Thanks, Publius.
Thanks for posting the eye candy. I sure am glad they're on our side.
self bump for a hero Marine
Perhaps it was there and I didn't notice but did anyone hear the expletives on the tape that was broadcast. If not, the tape was sanitized. The expletives might help underscore the stress and urgency which the Marine was experiencing at the time.
Forgive me if this is obvious to everyone else.
This video is different than what I saw on FandF this morning. Hmm.
What did he say?
Well, I don't have a list...but recall that some would not be speaking now if they'd gotten a bullet in the back.
Many of our POWs were tortured, but many survived. Don't think I'm saying these aren't animals, but turned around, I'm sure we would be very upset if the insurgents shot dead a wounded Marine who was in captivity.
That's very interesting to me. I still haven't seen the video being run on MSM, and it will be late tomorrow or Thursday before I get a chance. If you can give some clues as to how it's different I'd appreciate that. As I understand it, the MSM video appears to show him preparing to shoot the guy who raises his hands after the shooting has already happened in this video, is that right?
We are the MSM now.
The piece of human debris the marine short was not a soldier. He was not wearing a uniform or under the command of a country.
He's a terrorist, which should be shot on sight.
From what I can remember, they were showing the part with the guy waving his hands to surrender and(this is where it gets muddled) giving the impression that the hand-waving guy was the one killed. This little video puts a whole different spin on the situation.
My husband changed his mind and thought the marine had screwed up because of the spin the MSM was putting on it. Then, I showed him this little piece and he's back to his original opinion...that the marine did fine.
We have a serious problem with our media.

Another link by reuters. It doe appear to be differant, and the video is clearer.
(it looks like a portion was edited out.)

It very well could have been the cameraman realized that the Marine just executed a prisoner, and maybe started yelling, "you idiot...didn't you hear me just tell you that these were wounded prisoners!??!" ("These are the wounded that they never picked up"...Later on, they seem to realize, duh, that these were the captives taken the day before.)
Cool! Thanks for the heads up!
>"No reason we should act according to the Geneva Conventions...I don't care what happens to any Americans taken prisoner! </sarc>"<
- The scum we are fighting do not follow any rules of warfare, and I note your </sarcasm>, but not sure where you are coming from...do you think this Marine acted inappropriatly, or am I misunderstanding you?

Follow this thread about how the video has apparently been edited. If you get a chance, watch some of the shows tonight and see the video they air (maybe need to go to MSNBC or CNN), and then compare it to the video here. As you can imagine, I'm very, very interested to know if the MSM has edited this tape in some way.
I heard a GOOD point on the radio today.
A caller pointed out that the marine couldn't help but know the photog was behind him.
I do NOT believe he would have shot if he didn't feel threatened.
