I was totally appalled to see (via Darth Dilbert) that the media is propping terrorist sniper videos.

But I’m not surprised.

While journalists show videos of terrorist snipers, our marines and other guys in uniform are getting shot by them.

This is the story of Kirby when he first appeared in the media. Kirby is a marine medic, on his second tour in Iraq. Some time ago, the media and bloggers like Cassandra at Villainous Company picked up on the story of his saving a wounded marine, a shooting victim of a terrorist sniper. The New York Times, even picked it up in a piece called “Tending a Fallen Marine, With Skill, Prayer and Fury” back on November 2nd. It is a horrific tale about a fallen marine, shot in the head, bone fragments in his helmet, showing a picture of Kirby’s bloody hand holding the armor piercing 7.62 millimeter terrorist bullet that had reached its mark.

Just this past Christmas afternoon, Kirby gets his own coverage. He was shot in the face, also by a terrorist sniper, destroying his palate and removing his ability to speak. Miraculously, he began writing messages immediately afterwards, refused to lay on a stretcher, walking to the medivac under his own power.

When I think it can’t get any nuttier, Gateway Pundit asks the Question: Why Are They Showing Snuff Films In A Mosque?
