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

The military and its purpose is not for soft hearted people to witness (Especially civilians), especially when the horrible atrocities of collateral damage occur. It happens ALL THE TIME and its happened for thousands of years. What makes this particular incident dramatically different?

Why would you take your kids in a vehicle to a site where people have been shot at by an apache? The taliban use children as pawns. Never the less this is still a very clear and disturbing evidence of male testosterone on the part of the Americans.
