it sounds like the facts about this are still coming in, and there's yet to be a thorough investigation. I realize this is difficult for you guys to do, but maybe we oughtta...dare I say it...wait for all the facts to come in and wait for the investigation to find whatever there is to find before we start issuing "innocent" or "guilty" verdicts?
I'm banned from the RKMBs now, aren't I?
Yes. You are. 
Seriously, however. I agree. And that's why what the press did so pissed me off.
By airing or discussing that video before THEY know all the facts, they allowed a hell of a lot of people, including the Muslim world, to declare that soldier guilty before all the facts were known.
That endangers other soldiers and makes the war effort more difficult.
Out of curiosity, setting aside whether it was right for the media to air the footage and discuss this incident for now, do you think there'd be an investigation or inquiry to discover what really happened if the press hadn't shown the video?
