Hey CNN, maybe you could ask your jihad sniper buddies if they have any video footage that shows the head shot that killed this Marine? If showing one snuff film of an American targeted by terrorsts is good, why not show more? All over the blog world there is widespread condemnation of the CNN. I hope they're starting to understand that their "not taking sides" or their "affinity for the underdog" tells us all we need to know.

Rest in peace, Lt Booth. I am proud to call you a brother in arms.
