Most Americans have no idea what ever became of the shocking case of U.S. Marines urinating on Taliban terrorist corpses after a firefight. The incident was captured on video and posted on YouTube. In a story that some didn’t want told, we explain what became of the case: it collapsed under allegations of unlawful command influence against the head of the Marine Corps: Gen. James Amos.

And he tells what happened to him when he blew the whistle.
