I'm not sure if the victim can be described as a POW, as he was not
actually in the custody of the US Marines at the time. More accurately
he can be described as a wounded insurgent. That said though, the
killing was unnecessary and callous. The victim was unarmed and
wounded, and was shot at point blank range. Apparently he has been
removed from active duty, and there was mention of him perhaps even
facing a murder charge.
BTW I've added the [OT] for you ;-)

"I conclude that there are two ways of constructing a software design:
One way is to make it so simple there are obviously no deficiencies, and
the other way is to make it so complicated that there are no obvious
deficiencies." -- Tony Hoare, Turing Award Lecture 1980
