Wiki leaks video - killing two journalists/others

[KahanaReef]

Wiki totally misleads the viewer intentionally. These guys were walking around with a AK 47 and 3 RPGs. Funny Wiki left that part out.

Wiki said they didn't highlight the weapons being carried by these men because they weren't sure they were weapons...

This is just a smear on our military and it's BS.

Soldiers' reconciliation (apology) letter

McCord:

I doubt that they were a part of that firefight. However, when I did come up on the scene, there was an RPG as well as AK-47s there…. You just don’t walk around with an RPG in Iraq, especially three blocks away from a firefight…. Personally, I believe the first attack on the group standing by the wall was appropriate, was warranted by the rules of engagement. They did have weapons there. However, I don’t feel that the attack on the [rescue] van was necessary.

Now, as far as rules of engagement, [Iraqis] are not supposed to pick up the wounded. But they could have been easily deterred from doing what they were doing by just firing simply a few warning shots in the direction…. Instead, the Apaches decided to completely obliterate everybody in the van. That’s the hard part to swallow.

And where the soldier said [in the video], “Well, you shouldn’t take your kids to battle.” Well in all actuality, we brought the battle to your kids. There’s no front lines here. This is urban combat and we’re taking the war to children and women and innocents

sad??? that is war... you don't know who is bad and who is good... shit like that happens... the gentlemen did their job and duty in a near flawles manner... media like this shouldn't be release cause they only make sheep weak...

Agree

If your a journalist in a war zone thats a risk you take, they knew going in they would be in harms way and could die just like any other soldier out there. I'm sorry you could not pay me enough money to go into a war zone with just a camera, screw that give me a gun. Granted a gun would not have saved these guys but you get my point.

Agreed and handled. The location comment better be changed as soon as he returns as well.

If the reporters we're walking around with guys that were armed than fuck them too. I hope the hippy fag stirring shit here is banned, thus filtering the gene pool here.
