I bet you that they were not surrendering. Probably the reporter made him look bad. I say that to chase these people into the house this soldier was valiant and if he did that, he must have had his reasons. Lets wait to hear the whole story.

From what the Marine said it seems like he killed this Iraqi soldier who was cooperating when he could have just as easily captured him (the Iraqi was unarmed, the Marine says he had him turn around and shot him twice in the back of the head). If the reporter is lying or the Marine is mistaken (due to the concussion) I will be glad to hear it. If the Marine had stormed the house and killed the Iraqis on site that would be perfectly honorable. If the Iraqi had dropped his weapons, had his hands in the air, and had not rigged himself with grenades and then the Marine shot him it would be murder, just as ruthless as what some of the Iraqis did to some of our soldiers.
