When I was seventeen, this is what I wanted to do with my life:

The most recent post on it, which I would recommend everyone read in its entirety is the journalist's account of the footage that has been constantly discussed on the evening news of late, which is the killing of a wounded Iraqi by a U.S. servicemember in a way/situation that was pretty shocking yet also potentially explainable. (Meanwhile: I'm doing a bad job of explaining this, as I am attempting and failing to use value neutral language, while also getting the point across as to why it has become a media story, just read the damn post).

Two men come face to face in a war and one of them dies. This is hardly shocking. Don't even get into the unarmed/armed thing -- you won't walk through a bad neighborhood alone in the dark; your instincts tell you not to, even if the street looks empty. I feel for Sites right now. I wanted to do that job as well. :(
