Meanwhile, the Marine Corps has appointed a three-star general to decide what disciplinary action to take against the four Marine snipers.
Lt. Gen. Thomas Waldhauser will name another officer to lead an internal Marine Corps investigation. That investigation will be in addition to a criminal probe already under way by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service. Waldhauser, who is commander of Marine Corps Forces Central Command, will determine how to proceed once both investigations are completed.
NCIS Communications Director Maryann Cummings also said her department's probe is still "in its very early stages."
"At this point, NCIS has identified and talked to the four Marines in the video. All four are currently in the U.S.. NCIS investigators are still tracking down information on the individual(s) who created and posted the video as well as initiating computer forensic techniques on the video itself," Cummings said. "NCIS conducts a wide range of law enforcement missions for the Department of the Navy. As always, the goal is to gather every possible fact, put the facts into context, and present the results of the investigation to a convening authority to take the appropriate action. NCIS is committed to conducting a comprehensive and thorough investigation."
Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and military leaders have promised an exhaustive investigation and sought to contain the damage at home and abroad.

One minute those guys are trying to kill you and the next moment you’re not supposed to want to piss on them...ain’t PC great?
In the meantime the traitor in chief commits treason and no one blinks an eye!
If my late father had done this to some Japanese, Chinese or North Koreans, he’d probably have been promoted, or at worst, scolded.
I would like to know if whatever conduct rules they broke are even applicable to nonuniformed combatants.
The crime is the stupidity of letting the video get out.
This is disgusting. THEY mutilate, defile, burn, plunge their hands in the still warm blood of Americans, steal body parts, and they dare, THEY DARE put our Marines on trial for peeing on murderers who were just trying to KILL them??? Have we gone insane???
Yes, this generation is too anxious to put everything on tape.
What BULLSHIT!
I think we have.
The crime of stupidity is letting the video get made.
I will wait for the NCIS report.
in VN there were strings of ears, Blackhorse patches
nailed to skulls, faked executions of already dead
VC to induce live ones to talk...
peeing on the dead seems an order of magnitude less of a crime...
So they can kill ‘em but they can’t pee on ‘em.
I guess this kind of silliness is part of what you have to put up with when you’re the world’s hyperpower.
Oh here we go again. These poor guys are going to get the death penalty or something for a verbal reprimand type activity. Unbelievable!!!
All of the military should piss on ‘em. Let’s see them charge them all.
I’m sorry to see these Marines get sacked for PR purposes, but they shouldn’t have done it.
Correct, should be a standing order, you get caught with a camera and/or a phone in a combat zone, you have 2 minutes to strip and hide the camera. Going to be rough sitting for a few days.
Clearly small revenge is best left undocumented, and damn well left off the web!
Should have removed a few small body parts too, ears or fingers, to deny the vermin their virgins since they have to “Whole” to enter “Paradise”.
Guys I know laugh about that, the vermin blow themselves up, which should doom them to Islamic Hell according to their own book, but somehow claim an exemption for terrorism.
Next time treat them to the same insult meted out to our Marines at Tripoli , feed them to dogs!
