While Palin is still in Israel and asking them why they are apologizing all the time ( LINK (http://www.jpost.com/DiplomacyAndPolitics/Article.aspx?id=213043) ), German paper's publishing of gruesome photos of a soldier from Palin's tightly knit hometown of Wasilla posing with killed Afghan civilians is starting to brew a controversy back here in America. Palin is outspoken supporter of wars and often sees them in religious context invoking god, but apparently guilt by association in current photo scandal is resulting in fresh attacks on Palin. Claims earlier made about the said soldier having been a Palin family acquaintance and a visitor to their home have not been confirmed by MSM:
The Morlocks And The Palins

Wasilla is a small place, family connections can go back a long way, and BFFs remain BFFs. Bristol's BFF's brother, Jeremy Morlock, is profiled here and here.

But that is not stopping attacks like these that have started to surface:
Photos of GI Posing With A Dead Afghan as a Trophy Released
March 21, 2011
Photos have been released showing an American GI posing with a dead Afghan like a hunter's trophy. The first soldier depicted is from Sarah Palin's town of Wasilla, Alaska. The gruesome photos give a sick image of what Palin's hunting philosophy looks like when taken to an extreme.
The photo shows Cpl. Jeremy Morlock of Wasilla, Alaska, smiling as he lifts the head of an Afghan's partially nude and bloody corpse by the hair. It is just one of three similar graphic photos published by Der Spiegel that comes from a collection of over 4,000 unearthed in their investigation.

These attacks seem to refer to some Palin trophy photos of entirely different nature and fully legal:

Do you think these attacks have crossed a line?
Are these fair attacks at a time when Palin is considering running to be next commander in chief of US military?

About that "murder": In 2005, Pantano, a former U.S. Marine, emptied two M-16 clips--or up to 60 rounds--at two unarmed Iraqis in his custody.
