Has anyone heard anything recently about the soldier who allegedly tossed a puppy off a cliff and posted the video on youtube? I’ve googled and can’t find anything since the original incident - there seems to be a media blackout on it. (That said, my google-fu sucks.) Anyone heard anything as to whether the video was real or not and what’s happened since then? Thanks! ---

According to the [Daily Woof](http://thedailywoof.blogspot.com/2008/04/marine-david-motari-update-cruetly.html) (love the name), as at 15 April the Marines were still investigating. ---

Agreed. They’ll likely wait for a non-slow news day. ---

A murdered puppy? It’ll have to be pretty big news to drive that off the front page. **PUPPY KILLERS ARRESTED** IN OTHER NEWS, CHINA INVADES RUSSIA
