What happened in the Fallujah mosque (via www.warandpiece.com)

small excerpt (so don't get down on me for more than 4 grafs, please Mod, because this is dialogue and totally covered by "fair use". Thanks.)

. . .

While I continue to tape, a Marine walks up to the other two bodies about 15 feet away, but also lying against the same back wall.

Then I hear him say this about one of the men:

"He's f------ faking he's dead -- he's faking he's f------ dead."

Through my viewfinder I can see him raise the muzzle of his rifle in the direction of the wounded Iraqi. There are no sudden movements, no reaching or lunging.

However, the Marine could legitimately believe the man poses some kind of danger. Maybe he's going to cover him while another Marine searches for weapons.

Instead, he pulls the trigger. There is a small splatter against the back wall and the man's leg slumps down.

"Well he's dead now," says another Marine in the background.

. . .
