Shooting the Messenger

Kevin Sites the photo journalist who filmed the marine shooting an unarmed man in a Falluja mosque has been vilified and is telling his story.

"Since the shooting in the mosque, I've been haunted that I have not been able to tell you directly what I saw," he wrote, "or explain the process by which the world came to see them as well."

He begins by writing, "I'm not some war zone tourist with a camera who doesn't understand that ugly things happen in combat." But despite his attempt to be fair, he said, since the Falluja video was broadcast on Nov. 15, he has been "shocked to see myself painted as some kind of antiwar activist." Sites has received abuse and death threats on some Web sites, and has shut down the discussion section of his own.

Sites' description of the events and his thoughts are in the article.
As I have repeated over and over again good people do bad things when they fear for their lives in the heat of battle. It is necessary for the American people to know about these incidents in order to make decisions about a war. We should not be shooting the messenger.
