The Most Controversial Video You Will See Lately.

This is a video of a U.S. Apache gunship opening fire on a crowd of Iraqi civilians and two Reuters news service employees in 2007. Wikileaks obtained the video and is now dispensing it through the internet. The soldiers in the Apache are claiming to see weapons, but it seems that it's camera bags and a telephoto lens.

If I have to tell you that this is going to be EVERYWHERE over the next couple days, I would probably have to explain to you that fire burns too.

What a shitty situation for everyone involved.
I can see how the constant threat of death can make you quick to pull a trigger....but what do you do when you kill people who meant you no harm?
