Tell the Marines.
A Marine by the name of Ilario Pantano is being tried for premeditated murder for killing a pair of terrorists.
RALEIGH, N.C. — A Marine has been charged with a military count of premeditated murder for shooting two Iraqis during a search for an enemy hide-out, and faces a possible death sentence if found guilty, his lawyer said Thursday.Second Lt. Ilario G. Pantano, 33, is accused of "numerous violations" of the Uniform Code of Military Justice, the Marine Corps said.

What kind of world is this?
I urge you to read these stories and get the word out. The lives of our soldiers are at stake.
