Killing of an insurgent

Linked are few details concerning the killing of an unarmed insurgent in Afghanistan. The military is claiming that the Canadian soldier killed the unarmed insurgent out of mercy (his wounds were severe). However, the body was never removed from the sight and left raising questions about the legitimacy surrounding the claims of the original wounds sustained by the insurgent. Either way, and disregarding bias in reporting, this incident leads into an interesting ethical debate that can lead from mercy killing to assisted suicide. The soldier is currently pending bail, and will be tried. Interesting for arguing and slippery slope questions.
