Does anyone know where to find the original? All I've seen are pixelated stills, from which I can hardly come to any conclusion.
Pissing on dead guys who just tried to kill you? Understandable. Putting it up on youtube afterwards? Stupid.
The Taliban are calling this inhumane? The Taliban... Don't remember them condemning a video where one of the American soldiers got his head sawed off with a knife on video a few years back. That's ok though - THIS is the inhumane action... urinating on corpses. These marines - if this actually happened - should be reprimanded for their behavior, because it was inappropriate. Anything severe though? Come back when you have a video of an American soldier sawing off the head of a helpless prisoner... then those claims of outrageous behavior will hold some water.
