well, he’s dead now…

The journalist, Kevin Sites, that taped the shooting of a seemingly unarmed, non-treathening iraqi has been caught in the many interrests in the war on Iraq. On his own blog, he tells his own version of the story as an open letter to the squad inolved. He tries to justify his own role in the release of the footage, and struggles to keep a rational and objective perspektive on what happened. Kevin Sites tries to rationalize the actions of the marines with reference to the difficult situation they are in and the stress they are subjected to. I understand the situation must be trying, but to me there is no rationalizing or justification to the incident as described by Kevin Sites.
