I've used a picture from Kevin Site's Blog, the personal site of the freelance photographer who took the video of the Marine shooting the prone Iraqi in that mosque. I apologize in advance for posting it without permission, and will remove it immediately upon request from Mr. Sites, the copyright holder.
