He could have turned it over to DOD..He knew this would incite and if ONE Marine loses his life to a "dead " or injured insurgent because of this video uproar I hope he suffers...but doubt he will.
That would have made the agreements between DOD and embeds something like the agreements between Presidential campaigns and "Newsweek". "Newsweek" agreed not to disclose anything about what their reporters saw or heard behind the scenes in the campaigns until after the election. We know how that went!
