This footage is from cameras on US Apache helicopters. It shows the slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

I usually have no problem blaming government, pointing out their mistakes, and I strongly believe that a lot of civilians have been killed but that video is not a good example IMO. It appeared to me that their was one guy that was at the edge of the building trying to aim an RPG and if you as a reporter are going to hang out with people that are actively going to attack the military than expect there to be some danger involved and expect for them to target the group and not try to pick through to see who is who.
Yes.
He thinks killing cops is cool
but believes all of Iraq should be slaughtered, and "let god" decide who's a terrorist and who is not.
That being said, engaging in a war where everyday "civilians" walk around with AK-47s on their backs has got to be difficult.
Having a war without civilian casualties is this strange impossibility the press dream of.
