Shooting Video Prompts International Concern
NBC correspondent Kevin Sites videotaped a U.S. Marine shooting a terrorist who was slumped against a wall in a mosque and a chorus of concern has been voiced by the international community. Amnesty International, the UN's High Commissioner for Human Rights, and the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) have already weighed in, stating that international humanitarian law has been violated. For the time being, all the human rights watchdogs are willing to allow time for the military to conduct an investigation. They will probably become impatient in short order. They seem to enjoy raising a stink when the U.S. Armed Forces is involved. Interestingly, the terrorist thugs can behead innocent civilians day in and day out without a peep being heard from the 'human rights watchdogs.' Kind of one-sided in their outrage, don't you think?
The Northeast Intelligence Network reports that the Kevin Sites video has been "posted by jihadis on the Ansar message board." In the video, the Marine is heard yelling "He's [expletive] faking it, he's [expletive] faking it" before he shoots the terrorist. In a combat situation, Marines shoot the enemy when threatened. If circumstances are as I've read thus far, the shooting of the terrorist is justified.
