The AP calls the insurgents "prisoners". They are/were not "prisoners". They were terrorists.
That term sounds quite pejorative.
I think I prefer "Objection Facilitators..."
They are not prisoners until they are cuffed and secure. The Marine didn't know if this guy was pretending to be dead in order to trigger a bomb or not.
Since the Marine told them to surrender (not shown on tape) and they refused, the Marine acted justly.
This is war folks.
We need to make a bigger stink in Washington for this than we have Specter!
My God, we are at war. I don't want our boys having to be PC. Has the entire world succumbed to insanity? Get the media OUT NOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Ron, not that I disagree with your sentiments, but what's up with the use of insurgent? Terrorists are terrorists and nothing else. Lest you think I'm being overly criticle, I catch myself doing what you did and it ticks me off.
Folks, these are terrorists. They are not freedom fighters or anything other than terrorists and terrorist mercs.
I agree! What the hell makes a prisoner according to the MSM? I say you're not a prisoner until you are shackled.
