US military covers up killing 2 journalists from Reuters
I fell over this link on the site of the national newspaper in Denmark and I was appalled to see what this is about. American soldiers gunning down two Reuters jounalists and afterwards also gunning down the civilian ambulance that comes to pick up the wounded thus wounding two kids and killing several people - ALL of whom turned out to be civilian targets.
When you watch it - IF YOU WATCH IT - STRONG SCENES SO BE WARNED - you will most likely come to the same conclusion as I ( assumption is that you of course see the same things that I see in the video - a telelens that is mistaken for an RPG and cameras mistaken for AK47s - that the pilots did not really do an evil thing as much as they simply misunderstand the situation in the first situation - but opening fire afterwards on the civilian ambulance is just petty murder and should be punished!!! Afterwards the military states that no wrongdoing has been done - now I am not an imbecile and I know that mistakes happen in wartime - but cover-ups afterwards may not be the way forward. Again...strong pictures and video of people getting gunned down by a chopper so watch at own resp. http://www.collateralmurder.com/

Re: US military covers up killing 2 journalists from Reuters
I don't have a firm grasp on the "Rules of Engagement" could someone elaborate on how it supposedly covers the Military for something like this?
I understand the different levels, and how they apply to a combat scenario, but having no direct experiance might kinda scew my view. I would prefer to stay on the neutral fence with my opinion until I know the full story (Even though the evidence is extremely overwhelming towards bad behaviour) regardless, an informative, if somewhat unpleasant video. It's so easy to sit back and ignore the "war", but video's like these really hit home. |

Re: US military covers up killing 2 journalists from Reuters
Nothing new and nothing being covered-up. The military doesn't give a ****, after-all the reasoning is it's their fault for being in our war-zone!
Silly people bring their kids around the neighborhood! Didn't they know it was a war-zone? LDO, it just looked like a neighborhood.
