re: If I am in a fire fight, and an enemy is pretending to be dead, I will make sure he is not faking it.
My point is that all the facts are not known. The NBC reporter was not the only witness, but I must admit he definitly painted a picture of a war crime in reporting what he saw.
I'm not familiar with the rules of war when engaging people who are dressed as civilians who are trying to use that disguise to gain the upper hand in a battle: It may very well be that this was not a war crime at all, even though our first reaction as human beings might be to assume that it was.
No one really knows all the facts. So I've got to trust the military justice system to sort it out.
