| 2010-08-09 |
| An Afghan prisoner shot and killed two U.S. Marines during an escape attempt Saturday in southern Afghanistan. NATO said Monday that the Marines died while trying to subdue the prisoner who had escaped a room where he was observing prayers. The prisoner grabbed a rifle and fired at Afghan and coalition forces before he was shot and killed. "The prisoner escaped a room where he was observing prayer time, acquired a rifle and subsequently engaged Afghan and coalition forces. The Marines were killed while trying to subdue the prisoner," NATO said in a statement. NATO did not disclose the exact location of the prison and said the incident is being investigated. |

| #5 With a Marine son in theater as I write, I find it incredible that we allow so much freedom movement for the these Satan-worshiping, scum bags. |

| #4 In investigation will probably show the Marines were violating the unloaded guns in a hot area ROE. (Thanks Obumble, Gates and all the toads in DC, may you all suck toe jam from a rabid camel) May they Rest in Peace and whoever is/was in charge in that sh!thole carries their face in his / her memory to his grave.... |

| #2 An easier solution would be to take no prisoners. |

| #1 Sounds like prisoners need to be manacled when praying from now on. Any subsequent protesters should be familiarized with this incident, and they should be offered a chance to offer an alternative that is just as secure for the guards. Until then, they are manacled. |
