Kevin Sites - AntiWar Activist
What happens when you send an anti-war activist to Iraq with our Marines? You get an ordinary war time incident blown out of proportion and presented in such a way that a good soldier ends up accused of war crimes.
One of our fighting men has come under 'investigation' for shooting a terrorist who was pretending to be dead in a mosque. Of course, the media is spinning this as a 'shooting of a wounded, unarmed Iraqi.' Fact is that this was a terrorist playing dead, hoping one of our troops would get close enough to kill or hoping to escape to kill other soldiers. Instead, this Marine killed the enemy.
As we took Fallujah back from the terrorists, several of our Marines who approached the supposed dead or wounded terrorists were themselves wounded or killed. This Marine was in a situation where he felt he was in danger and his fellow soldiers were in danger. This is war and this Marine did his duty.
FACT: Kevin Sites is an anti-war activist. His pictures are proudly displayed as part of a "visual statement against war" on "Images Against War," whose name speaks for itself.
In his search for fame and fortune, and the ever elusive Pulitzer Prize, Kevin Sites has become a traitor and an enemy to the United States of America. He has distorted the truth for his own benefit and in doing so, he has endangered the lives of all of our soldiers, not only in Iraq but everywhere.
I urge you to contact the DOD, the White House, your congressional representatives and the USMC to express your support for this brave Marine. We must speak out to overcome the leftist media before they turn this into another abu Ghraib.

And write that Anti-American bastard Kevin Sites too at kevin@kevinsites.net and let him know what you think of him.
Semper Fi and Bless our Marines!!
UPDATE: In April of 2003, while working for CNN in Iraq, Kevin Sites and his crew were allegedly kidnapped by "The Iraqi Fedayeen -- Saddam's loyal Baath Party militiamen" and were "harassed and stripped of their broadcast gear before they were let go outside Tikrit in northern Iraq."
In light of recent events, it makes me wonder what the terms of his release were.
