I wouldn't too suprised to find NPR has grossly distorted what Lt. Col. Vokey had to say.

No, NPR is actually quite moderate compared to what Michael Savage has had to say on this subject. NPR appears to have been rather charitable to the USMC here compared to Savage.

Was Savage criticizing the Marine Corps, or the civilians appointed or elected over them?

I'd sure be interested to know how the *rate* (i.e. per 10,000 troops in country) of prosecutions for acts against the local population, compare to say the end of WW-II, while fighting was still on going, or even during the "stalemate" part of the Korean war.

In war, stuff happens, mistakes, honest mistakes, are made. Much more so when the enemy wears no uniform and hides behind the civilian populace.

I was speaking of his remarks on GitMO, not his comments on the treatment of fellow Marines.
