#1 I don't consider Kevin Sites anti-American. I think he shot a video of a murky, stressful combat situation. Those TV stations that then showed every 15 minutes for weeks the 3 seconds of video of the Marine pulling the trigger are the propagandists and deserving a JDAM in their roof. They are the one who have sided with the mass murderers of Saddam's Baath, Sadr's Iranian sponsored executioners, and Al Qaeda.

#2 In "The Hunt for Bin Laden", Robin Moore tells of how the Special Ops soldiers loved Sites, making a reference that he could easily be one of them. Sites gets a bad rap for Fallujah incident, but every time I have seen him speak he tells of how confusing the situation was.

How confusing could it be? Booby-trapping dead bodies or injured combatants was a very real threat at the time. So a terr was dispatched - big deal. At the very least, having to treat, clothe, and feed the bastard is no longer a necessity.

#4 I admit I have a negative bias against Sites - unfair, maybe? But his overblown, self-aggrandizing ads for his website sure don't endear him to me. My wife got a good chuckle when she read one last night.

#5 Sites was a freelancer with guts. He hooked up with FOX, the "We report, you decide" network for awhile and had some great video. The video was truthful and vindicated the shooting by showing movement. Maybe he's feeling slighted, looosing the adrenaline rush of combat, and is crying out for attention.

#6 I read a piece he wrote about Somalia. It was crap and those who had been there ripped him to shreds in the comments section.

#7 Kevin Sites is a full blown asshat.
