Defense chief vows action over video of Marines abuse
Leon Panetta said the four Marines could face a court martial or disciplinary action after a video depicted conduct deemed utterly deplorable. Afghan officials and Karzai denounced the footage as inhumane and shocking while the Taliban condemned U.S. forces’ alleged indignities against Afghans. The case will be investigated by the Naval Criminal Investigative Service with the Marines conducting an internal review. Panetta promised accountability to the fullest extent.
