Marine acted in self-defense

CNN.com - Marine cleared in videotaped shooting - May 5, 2005 This restores some of my faith in the military justice system.
Navy investigators have determined a U.S. Marine acted in self-defense when he shot an apparently wounded and unarmed Iraqi inside a Falluja mosque in November, a senior Pentagon official said Wednesday.
Given what had happen with other "wounded" insurgents, I don't see that he had any other choice but to assume the worst.
