Thread Name: BS: Video of US Killing of Reuters Reporters
Subject: RE: BS: Video of US Killing of Reuters Reporters
That video was stomach churning, and the worst of it was listening to that helicopter crew drooling over the prospect of shooting up a crowd (most of whom were clearly not carrying weapons, as they were in shirt sleeves, and couldn't have concealed anything more lethal than a hand gun), and begging their controller for permission to murder them all.

The camera might have caused some doubt, but any British gunner would have made sure before firing, and been more selective in choosing targets.

That Gung Ho arsehole chewed up the entire street with exploding munitions which were never meant to be used on human bodies,

Isn't that a breach of the Geneva Convention?

He kept shooting till nothing was moving.

Then he proceeded to shoot up some guys who tried to take the sole remaining survivor of the first attack to safety. This survivor was the Reuters' journalist, and they killed him, shot up his rescuers, then riddled the van hitting two children inside.

No wonder the US military wanted to cover it up.

I reckon there are grounds for a number of Courts Martial, with twenty years in the stockade at the end.

Sheer cold blooded murder, performed with the gleeful enthusiasm of a psychotic serial killer.
