"TONY JONES: The Wikileaks site refers to the footage they've shown as 'Collateral Murder.' Do you think that's going too far?

ETHAN MCCORD: I do.

I, I, I personally feel that the, um, the way Wikileaks released this video was more of a, a shock factor to try to, to, ah, it was more of a political way of releasing this. Um, I feel that they could have been more responsible in the release of this video.

Um, I do know that when I, when I watched the video they made sure to point out the cameras that the journalists were holding, but failed to point out the weapons that the other people were holding as well.

Collateral murder I think, is, is going a little far, um, as far as saying that soldiers intentionally murder civilians."


And I agree on that point with Mr McCord, but to many here it is perfectly OK for the Press to lie. Most of you lot fell for it "Hook-line-and-sinker", guess I just have better eye-sight than most of you.

The Idea that the children were deliberately put at risk is your assertion unsupported by any eveidence anywhere, let alone on the video.

WHAT????? Are you really that stupid?? Eight people have just been shot up by two 30mm cannons and you as a father of two children deliberately drive towards where that happened, and you think it is safe or sensible to actually do that?? You either have no children or you are on a different planet.

Paradoxically, you support your son being put at risk by being posted in Afghanistan.

My son entirely of his own choosing volunteered to serve his country. He has no say in where the Government of his country order him to go, that is accepted as being part and parcel of the deal. Exactly the same was true for me when I was in the armed forces.
