News video shows Marine
shooting wounded prisoner

From the AP via the Houston Chronicle:

A U.S. Marine shot and killed a wounded and apparently unarmed Iraqi prisoner in a mosque in the former insurgent stronghold of Fallujah, according to dramatic pool television pictures broadcast Monday. A Marine spokesman in Washington said the shooting was under investigation. The shooting Saturday was videotaped by pool correspondent Kevin Sites of NBC television, who said three other previously wounded prisoners in the mosque apparently also had been shot again by the Marines inside the mosque.

How many more "isolated incidents" do there need to be before we admit there's a problem? War corrupts, and it sounds like this war is no different from any other. I keep saying that the longer we're there, the more atrocities like this we'll see. This is just horrible, but I expect that it's only an accident that we know about it at all. Bush's war is making murderers out of young Americans.

This is exactly the kind of thing that Chomsky is talking about in the post below.
