Allamagan Posted April 28, 2010 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 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Valenteenah. Posted April 28, 2010 This was all over the news recently. Very eye-opening, isn't it? It's like it's some sort of a killing game for the Apachi gunners. Sickening in it's coldness and disregard for human life. Then again, what can be expected when young adults are armed to the teeth and thrown in at the deep end in a hostile conflict? It IS a killing game. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Allamagan Posted April 28, 2010 ^Actually, it is kinda killing game for them. the worste is their insensitivity towards the feeling of other civilians (unarmed people) in the area. Look at when people came to help the wounded soldiers were given the go-ahead to spray-bullet them all anyone inside the van and near it. It then later showed there were two children in the van. For sure these kinda things (killings of innocent civilians) will haunt these soldiers for the rest of thier lifes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
