WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff.
Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.
Warning: Chilling video footage from a US military Apache helicopter and the radio discussions (“All right, ha ha ha, I’ll hit ’em”) begin at about 2:45:
The killers are playing a video game.
Perhaps the drugs they are taking (i.e. prozac, speed) help them stay
desensitized to the plight of their fellow humans. This is a symptom of the downfall of everyone’s human rights. Along with the terrible destruction of these peoples lives, our lives are destroyed as we become brutal monsters.
Fir those of you who think these soldiers are criminals, you suffer from Cranial Rectumitis. There are at lease 2 (not the photographers) who are carrying rifles/RPGs. And sense that is OBVIOUS, it is very possible that other members of this group were carrying small arms.
It is time for you Idiots to stop refereeing the war from behind your brand new 5 foot flat screen TV and go do it yourselves sense you think you can do a better job.
ib+…..I am a retired Army NCO who served 1970-1987,and firing at personnel tending to the wounded is definately against the ROE(rules of engagement)UNLESS those people are clearly armed.This reminds me of Vietnam…”If he’s dead and and a gook,he’s the enemy”.And7four7,what is your combat experience……watching Rambo on Dvd?
