Here is another example of a journalist who sees himself as Ernie Pyle, when in fact he is not fit to carry that man’s clipboard. How many of these liars (ie, the one who said the Koran was used as a urine target) are going to continue to be paid any heed when it is clear they all lie to get some sales advantage or create the idea that they are deserving of special attention or awards. Clear back to the lies in my lifetime of American/Ally defeat during the 1968 Tet Offensive in Vietnam we have been celebrating people who clearly lied and obfuscated the facts.

It is true what you say that none of us were there. However, as Susan stated, soldiers who WERE there have contacted BlackFive. Also, the video Meo took of the dead soldier was shown on a US news show, and was posted on their site. We know this because the dead soldier's sister wrote to the station, and was quoted on BlackFive. So that proves that he DID record the event, even after being expressly told to not film.

What Meo did was wrong on so many levels, no matter the credentials you list in your final paragraph here.

Daniel, thank you for staying on top of this story. There were other on-site witnesses, also, who emailed the Blackfive blog with their own reports.
