Well, Terribus does make some points about how military people are trained to behave and he also makes some knowledgeable observations of the videotape itself.

But other experienced observers do come up with different conclusions.

I come down on the side where you don't blame the victims for getting killed, placing the primary responsibility on the ones who pull the trigger and those who gave them permission to do so. The US Military made a tragic mistake in this case. And they didn't get killed.

I don't expect Terribus to acknowledge that a tragic mistake was made but it would help clear the air on this thread if he would do so.
