Second Lt. Ilario Pantano is the U.S. Marine who may be charged with murder for killing two "insurgents" in Iraq on April 15, 2004. For more details, go read Is the Marine Corps P.C.? by Mona Charen on townhall.com.

I find it completely disgusting that these charges are even being considered. Our men in uniform should be given the benefit of the doubt in these cases. To do otherwise will plant seeds of doubt in their minds as they perform their duties that their own life or freedom may be on the line later. That doubt could cause a momentary hesitation that could kill them.

Lt. Pantano's parents have set up a web site where people can donate money to help in his defense.
