Collateral Murder - Wikileaks - Iraq

Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred. Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting documents on April 5th 2010 on http://collateralmurder.com

May Allah swt grant jannah firdous to all the men, women and children who've lost their lives in this unnecessary war. A war waged by selfish men who crave power and hold onto it by sacrificing the lives of innocent people. Everyone will get what they deserve - not in this life but in the one hereafter.

"Not all Americans are like this chopper gunner.

Not all Arabs are terrorists.

America shouldnt rule other countries.

Terrorists shouldnt kill Innocents.

We should end the wars." by myself.

He already pled guilty to most of the charges against him, all the government has to prove is that he aided the enemy and he gets life

In my opinion, as an ex-soldier and tank gunner in the British Army, the gunner in this Apache is a dangerous criminal, and if he hasn't been court-martialed and imprisoned he bloody well should be. He sounds like a blood-hungry lunatic.

I guess that is good! Often sports players are as mindless as sheep! Example, sports interviews with professional athletes! Not the brightest light in case!
