RE: [QUAD-L] Media in Iraq

[Joan Paskas]

I wonder how any one of us would react with very little sleep, if any, being 
shot in the face and seeing a good friend fellow soldier and other soldiers 
being killed by booby traps and several by booby trapped bodies. Where is 
the world outrage when Americans, British and other hostages are routinely 
beheaded, burned and dragged through the streets. Where is the outrage when 
Ms. Hassan, who only gave all she had through charitable works to Iraqis was 
murdered. And what does Islamic law say about killing one such as she? 
Should there be some correction to this soldier for his conduct? Yes, of 
course. But what of the NBC reporter that chose to spread this unfortunare 
incident around the world for muslims to use as a recruitement tape. I hope 
he can face himself after the media stops patting him on the back. Sorry, I 
did not want to get into a policitcal argument, but I feel for this soldier. 
I don't feel sorry for the insurgent who would have killed him but for the 
fact that he was too wounded to pick up a gun.  Joan

This story that came out today about shooting an unarmed terrorist is
exactly why the media needs to stay out of the way and let our military 
take
care of itself.
Reporting this news to the Iraqi's and Americans only fuel the fire with 
the
Iraqi's.
This man should be held accountable for his actions but kept out of the
media it does more harm than good in my opinion.

On another note calling this a cowardly act is probably right but coming
from people that are using car bombs and killing innocent bystanders like
women and children especially with no regrets is just insane.
BAGHDAD, Iraq - The U.S. military said Tuesday it is investigating the
videotaped fatal shooting of a wounded man by a U.S. Marine in a mosque in
Fallujah. Iraqis condemned the act as "cowardice" and "something forbidden
in Islam."
