Looking for a video clip - US soldiers killing wounded man, from CNN

It was video from CNN where they shot an obviously wounded man laying on the ground who was moving, then cheered, then a soldier was interviewed. I've only seen this clip once on the web and thought i'd bookmarked it but i guess not. These were grunts that killed him, not the one where they shot the guys from the air. Anyone?

1. I remember this clip....

it was on one of their Iraqi Invasion reviews. The incident ocurred around Nasiriyah and those involved were Marines. I have no idea where you might find this clip but this may give you some information to search with.

3. I remember it. The jarheads sound right pleased with themselves.

even thought the target was wounded.

5. Two Points

First, when I last saw this the post-fight interview had a chunk clearly cut out of it -- the CNN scroll gave this away big time -- causing the connection of two statements that would not have otherwise been connected.

Second, the wounded soldier is shot in the midst of a fire-fight. When you try watching for the part where the US soldier or Marine gets up, walks over to the wounded man, and shoots him in the head ... you will notice that it never happens. The US forces remain behind their fortified positions during the entire scene.
