Hearing for Marine charged in Iraqi deaths

by Mark5019 Apr 26, 2005 5:16AM PDT

RALEIGH, North Carolina (AP) -- A former Wall Street trader who rejoined the Marines after the September 11 attacks is now faced with the consequences of another choice -- the split-second decision he made in a combat zone.

Defense attorneys for 2nd Lt. Ilario Pantano and military prosecutors agree that the Marine shot and killed two Iraqis last year in a search for a terrorist hideout. But neither side agrees on circumstances surrounding the shootings.

this is utter bs i hope they do the right thing and aquit

IF this proven to be true?
Now before your usual calling down remember i said "IF"

According to charges, Pantano ordered other troops to remove the suspects' handcuffs and look away, then shot the pair in the back, vandalized their vehicle and hung a sign over their corpses bearing a Marine slogan: "No better friend, no worse enemy."
Just your regular crap that usa troups can do no wrong.
