I saw the uncut video yesterday and confirm what you posted. IIRC, the enemy terrorist (let's call them what they are - soldier is way too dignified for these bast@#ds)who was shot was lying underneath the window on the right side of the frame. The Marine doesnot approach too close and he calls out to his comrades that he (the terrorist)is faking and that he can see him breathing. Then he shoots. Once, IIRC.

But the video clip that is playing today, the scene shifts to the center of the room and the the Marine is directly over the supposed victim (muzzle about a foot from his head) near some sort of support post. (Was this the surrendering man who was NOT shot?) There is just the "he's faking" comment by the Marine and then multiple reports of the rifle.

Has this video been doctored? It would be pretty easy to lift the audio from the actual shooting and slide it to the images of surrendering terrorist to make it appear as if the Marine shot a person who was clearly surrendering. There isn't alot of detail in the footage other than gross shapes so you have to impute everything from the audio track.

If it was doctored, by whom? The reporter? Or do we have another "Memogate," with some left wing MSM producer/editor "enhancing" the news value of the images.

God help MSM if this video has been doctored.

Are you talking about a clip playing on television? I haven't seen any of the news coverage on the networks and have only seen this same video as is linked to here.

I agree. If there is evidence the MSM has doctored this
tape, it would just be over the top (as if Rathergate
wasn't already).

If it was doctored, by whom?

Looks like a job for NCIS
