Here’s an updated story from SD Untion Trib:
http://www3.signonsandiego.com/stories/2009/sep/30/marine-exonerated-4-fallujah-killings/?metro&zIndex=174540

Title is “Marine Exonerated in 4 Fallujah Killings”
FTA:
“All of our efforts to follow the rules as they were written just weren’t working,” Wade said. “We had truckloads of Marines coming back dead or wounded because they tried.”

ROE, or lack thereof, again. God bless Sgt. Nelson for what he has had to put up with and go through.

Yep.

“...All of our efforts to follow the rules as they were written just weren’t working,” Wade said. “We had truckloads of Marines coming back dead or wounded because they tried.”

The freaking definition of 'unarmed' does not apply to anyone with half a brain.

Main Entry: un·armed
Pronunciation: \-ˈärmd\
Function: adjective
Date: 14th century

1 : not armed or armored ; also : not using or involving a weapon

The four insurgents were sitting unarmed in the house and submitted to orders from the Marines, said Capt. Nicholas Gannon, the military co-prosecutor. But Nazario, the squad leader, grew enraged when a search of the house turned up weapons. He hit one of the men with his rifle, and shot and killed two of them.
