Marine cleared in videotaped shooting Wounded Iraqi killed inside Falluja mosque From Jamie McIntyre CNN Thursday, May 5, 2005 Posted: 10:35 AM EDT (1435 GMT) WASHINGTON (CNN) -- Navy investigators have determined a U.S. Marine acted in self-defense when he shot an apparently wounded and unarmed Iraqi inside a Falluja mosque in November, a senior Pentagon official said Wednesday. The Marine corporal, who will not face charges, was under investigation in the shootings of four enemy combatants as part of an operation during the siege of Falluja on November 13, 2004. The mosque shooting was captured on videotape by an embedded reporter. An investigation by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service determined that the Marine acted in self-defense, within military law and the law of armed conflict. Although that Marine has been cleared of wrongdoing, the investigation remains open because autopsies of some of the bodies found in the mosque turned up bullets that were not from his gun. At least the military courts get it right most of the time. It is absolutely scandalous that our troops have to constantly worry that some f%$@#$ing arm-chair quarteback with a camera will try to throw them under the bus to get a by-line. "Better to be judged by twelve, than carried by six." Thank you for all you do, brave warriors. http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/05/falluja .marine/index.html" title="http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05/05/falluja .marine/index.html" target="_blank"http://www.cnn.com/2005/US/05... |
