    Default The Wikileaks collection

    Moderator's Note

    Today I have merged three threads on Wikileaks and re-named the thread accordingly. I have not merged the thread on Bardley Manning's (alleged) torture (ends).

    WikiLeaks has posted a 17-minute clip shot from an Apache helicopter in July 2007. I just watched it and, frankly, was amazed. I cannot rationalize any justification for the actions of this Apache crew.

    The link is here: http://collateralmurder.com/

    If anybody can figure out a way to explain this, please weigh in. It appears, to me, that some guys with a 30mm wanted to shoot something so badly that they were able to convince themselves that no more than three individuals with items that kind of, maybe, resembled weapons somehow justified firing into a group of people with 30mm. As for their justification for shooting the unarmed individuals who arrived on scene to evacuate a wounded individual who clearly posed no threat to anybody - wow. If this is as bad as it looks, I hope these guys don't get away with this.

    Added: fast forward to about the 2-minute mark to go directly to the video shot from the Apache.
