[Matt] Posted April 5, 2010 Share Posted April 5, 2010 No wonder the CIA tried desperately to shut Wikileaks down when the US forces can be so dumb as to mistake camera's with telephoto lenses for RPG's... 5th April 2010 10:44 EST 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. Dont watch if squeamish. Mods delete the link (but not the post please) if you feel it to be appropriate... http://collateralmurder.org/en/resources.html War is total insanity...

Do you know anything about RPGs. military weapons of any sort? Have you ever been a soldier in a combat zone or are you just a fireside warrior? Ever wondered how the Iraqis could be so dumb as to keep blowing each other up because one is a Sunni and the other is a Shiite ? Strange no one but me ever seems to comment on that fact Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[Matt] Posted April 5, 2010 Author Share Posted April 5, 2010 I guess no one on this forum gives a **** about this abhorrent misuse of military power to murder innocent civilians and children and the following 3 year cover up by the American military and their subsequent efforts to destroy freedom of speech on this matter by taking down Wikileaks, one of the most important sites on the internet.... never mind... go back to arguing about immigrants, religion or whoever John terry is sticking his penis into lately... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=eR3KwODDzeY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Strange no one but me ever seems to comment on that fact As ethnic tensions between Sunni and Shiite are irrelevant to this thread, it's not strange that no-one has mentioned it.

garrence Posted April 6, 2010 Share Posted April 6, 2010 Killing reporters is part of the USA's news management. At the height of the invasion, they launched a missile into Al Jazeera's offices. Al Jazeera were filming the missile launcher from their window as it turned to target them and then fired, killing one person. On-message reporters (particularly those "embedded" with the military) = good Investigative reporters = potential collateral damage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chemical Ali gassing hundreds of Kurds? Trouble with phobic people like you is that yopu can only see Americans as evil doers and blinker your eyes with assinine dumbness when other forces, other countries commit murders. Give it a rest and better yet get up off your chair, join the army and get some experience about what combat and soldiering is like. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They just like to rat on about the big old bad US but whether it's thread relevent or not I will continue to point out the self destructive attitudes of a large segment of Iraqis.

That didnt stop Al Jazeera running film on people getting their heads cut off. They're not a news station more like an obscene hate spouting sicko outfit.
