From what I understand this country is in huge debt, should we not be saving our money instead of using it to destroy in a time were we should be building.

The audio on the video found at http://www.collateralmurder.com/ does not sound like professional personnel doing a job, but instead of some young kids playing xbox at home. Is this what we have come to, people having fun killing on our tax dollars?

Watching this video made me so sad to be a human.

Yet it is obvious even to us, who are not military personnel, that there was no imminent danger and no convincing indication whatsoever that these men were violent insurgents, or that they carried dangerous weapons.

In short: the US gunmen had no reason to kill these men. Yet they killed them, ruthlessly.

Follows the incident with the black van. Even to a layman’s eye, the drivers of the van had no bad intentions: they wanted to transport the body of an injured man. Shooting at these drivers and at their car is clearly a violation of the Geneva act, thus it is a war crime.

The REAL war crime is that high up in the Pentagon and high up in NATO, such rules of engagement are handed out, and that war crimes of our own men are never sentenced in court.

As the the group walks across the courtyard, the full version video shows three men, not in the shortened video, clearly carrying weapons, rifles and what appears to be a long barreled grenade launcher. Since American forces were fighting insurgents in the area, and the helicopters were providing cover, engagement was permitted.

Unfortunately, they killed the camera men, however, they did kill the other insurgents carrying weapons.

The vehicle on the ground could have contained weapons and since American forces were in the area, the helicopter crew felt engagement was necessary.

No war crimes were committed. Just an unfortunate incident for the camera crew working with insurgent forces.
