Alow me to play devil's advocate and voice the simple fact that these guys are only charged with a crime. They are still innocent until proven guilty.
There are a lot of hardcore resistance fighters and Iraqi irregulars still in Iraq. I bet if the guy they killed, managed to kill 2 or 3 marines and escape... This wouldn't have been in the news as anything more than just three more flags sent home. Meanwhile, who would've put the Iraqi on trial?
I just guess we won't know; we can't know -until we have more facts to consider.
