Frank Wuterich of the United States Marine Corps, who was under investigation for possibly murdering civilians in Iraq after someone in his unit died.  Several other Marines were also under investigation.  CBS re-ran the piece in August.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mediabistro.com/bbs/cache/t35519_1.asp"><DIV>

Pelley's responses to the emotionally wrecked Marine were "oh, come on" and "you can't be serious" when Sgt. Wuterich explained that he followed protocol in the shootings because they had legitimate reason to believe the people were terrorists or hiding terrorists.</DIV></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.mediabistro.com/bbs/cache/t35519_1.asp">Pelley disgraced himself in that interview and now that the court says Sgt.
