Probe into Marine shooting unarmed Iraqi, R, Tue 16 November, 2004 02:19

(...) Then I hear him say this about one of
the men:
"He's fucking faking he's dead - he's faking he's fucking 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.
