CHARGES DISMISSED. In the case of ILARIO PANTANO, 33, the Marine lieutenant accused of shooting two unarmed Iraqis to death near a suspected terrorist hideout and hanging a warning sign-the Marine slogan NO BETTER FRIEND, NO WORSE ENEMY-near their bodies as a message to insurgents; by the Marine Corps; after an autopsy failed to confirm that the men had been shot in the back while on their knees, as reported; in Camp Lejeune, N.C. The ex-Wall Street trader didn't deny the shooting but claimed he was acting in self-defense...
Castro claimed to know nothing of Vesco's finances or movements. He charged that the CIA had spread the story about Vesco's hideout, declaring that "they may want to gouge out his eyes, strangle him, make him into ground meat."

Pantano and his platoon were on a raid north of Mahmudiyah, not far from Baghdad, acting on a tip about a possible insurgent hideout. As the Marines neared their target, they spotted a car fleeing the area. Pantano's men set up a checkpoint and ordered the car to stop. Inside were two Iraqis. One looked to be in his 30s, the other in his late teens. According to accounts given to TIME by Pantano's civilian lawyer...
...expense, detailing things puppets can't do (shoot pool, dance, plausibly engage in martial arts). The real kick, however, is in the grandeur and detail of the production design, by Jim Dultz and David Rockwell. Paris, Cairo, the Panama Canal, the inside of Mount Rushmore and a terrorist hideout (modeled on the Star Wars cantina) look fabulous redreamed in miniature...
