Kevin Sites - imagesagainstwar.com (Fallujah shooting incident)
E-mail ^ | 11/17/04 | Unknown

Posted on 11/17/2004 8:05:47 AM PST by Luis Gonzalez

What happens when you send an anti-war activist to Iraq with our Marines? You get an ordinary wartime incident blown out of proportion and presented in such a way that a good soldier ends up accused of war crimes.

One of our fighting men has come "under investigation" for shooting a terrorist who was pretending to be dead in a mosque. of course, the media is spinning this as a "shooting of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi". Fact is that this was a terrorist playing dead, hoping one of our troops would get close enough to kill, or hoping to escape to kill other soldiers. Instead, this marine killed the enemy.

As we took Fallujah back from the terrorists, several of our Marines who approached the supposed dead or wounded terrorists were wounded or killed; this Marine was in a situation where he felt he was in danger and his fellow soldiers were in danger. This is war, and this Marine did his duty.

FACT: Kevin Sites is an anti-war activist. His pictures are on display as part of a "visual statement against the war" on Images Against War"...the name speaks for itself.

''Journalists'' like this should be treated as ''enemy combatants''.

They should at the very least be exposed.

No. They are traitors and should be hung.
But even the 'shoe bomber' was allowed to live.

Even Sandy Burglar still walks free.

America has decided it will do NOTHING to protect itself, domestically.

From every account I've read on a whole slew of sites, the guy definitely was previously wounded and had been left there the previous day. That's the crux of it. But just cause you're wounded doesn't mean you ain't dangerous. I have no problem with the kid's actions. He's protecting the lives of himself and his fellow troops. Unfortunately, he's fighting terrorists and the MSM.

Sites supported Kerry - believes he deserved a Silver Star for killing a wounded and unarmed child.

OK, you're a Marine searching enemy bodies in a mosque. One of the bodies is starting to move and there is a reporter filming in the room.

You only have two rounds left.

Quick! What do you do!

look, I don't like his type, but why did the Marines invite this moron to come with and then do what he wanted to see in front of him?
Are we to assume we can figure out this reporter's angle,but the Marines couldn't?
You can't invite the media then censor them.
Either have them with or don't.

I guess that I got this one wrong. I would have offered to take the reporters picture and have him stand next to the bodies. I would have to stand at the doorway for the best angle to capture the moment, of course.

Does anyone know if this 'reporter' is still attached to a Marine unit or have they pulled him out?

Under contract with the leftist media to infiltrate the battle zone for more 'panty' material.

Long past time to censor the war zone. We don't need this crap.

They'd be stupid not to pull him out....for his own safety. It won't be long before he gets caught in a "cross-fire" situation and takes an unfortunate round to the head.

I don't think this unit is taking very kindly to this scumbag right now.....My 2c
