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.

Better to be tries by 12 than carried by 6.
This explains the Marine position well.

"4 NYPD officers were acquitted of homicide and reckless endangerment for shooting Amadou Diallo 41 times in the Bronx during peace time when he reached for a wallet."
Perhaps Springsteen can write a song about this, too.
Thanks for the info and warning. I found an great alternative to RealPlayer called "Real Alternative" that plays the video just fine without all the junk and system resources drained. No advertisments, no spyware...and FREE...

I only come to FR anymore to see what your banner will be today ...
Good. Maybe it will convince a few of them to stop feigning injuries or death to hurt our guys.
Lets hope they keep it up there when this guy is exonerated & put back into action.
bttt
A point the MSM (and most others) seem to be missing: The "innocent insurgent" (thanks, Chris Matthews) had already committed one war crime by fighting from a Mosque (protected place). Why should the marine, who lost a buddy the day before to a war criminal booby-trapping a body, NOT suspect that the "innocent insurgent" was in the act of committing another WAR CRIME by pretending to be dead and using THAT protected status to do harm to him or his buddies?????
My father was a rifle platoon lieutenant in the 96th Division on Okinawa. "They're not dead unless you shot 'em yourself."
I know the MSM is trying to make OUR marine the bad guy, but I doubt if most people are buying it. Adults understand this isn't Tiddlywinks.
"There're on the wall, far right."
"Hey, whose in there?"
"These are the wounded that were never picked up".
Took care of that problem. Do we really expect our troops to be treated any better?
I sent the link for this to my brother cause I knew he'd be interested. He also noticed the cut in the video at the same point you mention. Now, I think we need to find out who/why/where/how it was edited. Maybe I'm heavy on the tinfoil right now but I don't like the media trying to trash our military!
Americans aren't the terrorists in the world. I could give a hoot if the Mohammed Attas and Osamas of the world have the luxury of the Geneva convention.
Thanks for posting this, finnman.
PING to the whole video, guys it's a must watch.
The media doen't show the whole thing, surprise, surprise.
There is another guy they don't shoot, holding his arm up.
This whole thing is BS. This Marine will be exonerated, I believe. He did nothing wrong.
Screw the liberal hyenas for their bias against our soldiers. I used to say that libs weren't our enemy, but no longer.
They are as big a danger to our guys, as are these terrorists. It clear to me whose side they are on.
>"Better to be tried by 12, than carried by 6."<
Excellant words, but in this case, there is no reason (for this guy) to be tried for anything. He is completely in his rights.
Screw the Rats, and SCREW NBC, ABC, CBS, CNN et all.
They are all an American version of Al Jezeera.
regards.
reuters has a link also although it looks like a portion was editied out. The video is clearer.

I came to the realization that the Lib'rals were the Enemy long ago, my FRiend, and not only to our soldiers over there, but to the security and success of this country as a whole. Sure, some of the Libs are simply ignorant of reality, but all too many of them know the evil things they are doing, and do them anyway.
FReegards...MUD
Ragheads are really asking for it.
They are going to get more than they bargained for.
If we can bomb German civilians into smithereens and nuke japs, annihlating a race of uluating subhuman beasts seems more of a public service to the human race than anything else.
Islamonazis living on borrowed time.
And so is the leftist media
Marine's KILL! That is their job!!
WAR............is..............WAR.
