Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred. Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting documents on April 5th 2010 on http://collateralmurder.com

Feb 1, 2012 - @freedomfighter01234 I'm not for the war. I think you're 100% right. The USA are the aggressors and are in the wrong. I'm just saying that the American army did what it had to do. Their lives were threatened and they had to attack. A guy was pointing an RPG at their helicopter at one point. I don't think they should have opened fire on the van though.. :/

Feb 2, 2012 - @lasoogneypubes Name the chances of hitting an Apache at that distance with an RPG.
lasoogneypubes Says:
Feb 2, 2012 - @r4f4st4n1 Well I don't know haha but the guy was POINTING it at the fucking helicopter. If you don't want to get your ass killed by an obvious apache helicopter then don't bring your AK's around and definitely don't point your RPG at it. What did they think was going to happen???
r4f4st4n1 Says:
Feb 2, 2012 - @lasoogneypubes K, next time someone points a camera at you, shoot him. Those were no RPGs neither confirmed weapons, that's point one, point two is: the probability of hitting an apache with an RPG at that distance is 0.5%

lasoogneypubes Says:
Feb 3, 2012 - @r4f4st4n1 It was an RPG!! Not a camera! Look again dude hahaha. Pause at 2:45 and tell me what he's pointing is a camera. It obviously is a big tube. The opening is spherical not square like a camera. Also where is your proof of your claim that the probability is that low?

Feb 4, 2012 - thats nuts how that dude just pulled a fuckin rpg outta nowhere like that
mrbiggs850 Says:
Feb 4, 2012 - if thats an RPG, your an idiot.. clearly looks like a camera they hold on their shoulder.. -_-
r4f4st4n1 Says:
Feb 6, 2012 - @lasoogneypubes First up, that's not a CONFIRMED RPG, second: you know NOTHING of RPGs since you're telling me it could hit an Apache at that distance, and THIRD, he did NOT aimed the "RPG" at the Apache.
lasoogneypubes Says:
Feb 6, 2012 - @r4f4st4n1 Again, where is your proof that an RPG couldn't hit a helicopter from that distance? He DID aim it at the helicopter! It was pointing right at it are you blind?
r4f4st4n1 Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @lasoogneypubes Proof? It's called common sense for someone who knows weapons, unlike you. Wheres the proof he can hit the apache? LOL. Retard. Was he? Sorry but he did not.how about the ambulance? and the unarmed people? Does one RPG make up for the civvie kills? And that's not a RPG.
goldendog53 Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - ok people really its fking done and over with god so what about proof no way to change it now, so what the comments are just spam over and over again grow up people really.
lasoogneypubes Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @r4f4st4n1 Yes it was an RPG. If you think that's a camera then you're an idiot. It's clearly a cylinder shape as you can see the light shining off of it in a way that shows it's clearly rounded. Cameras are square, not round. Again you have no proof that he couldn't hit the helicopter from that distance so everything you say is baseless until you give me proof. Sorry. If he were a camera man then why was he peaking around a corner with it? Why not make it obvious it's a camera?
TheMuffdivr Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - Yeah, did you notice how he fired at the chopper too you moron !
deekante Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @lasoogneypubes Regardless of whether they had an RPG, shooting at the survivors when they pose no threat to anyone and are simply writhing in agony is disgusting. And blindly shooting at a van carrying children is just fucked up.
lasoogneypubes Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @TheMuffdivr He did? What time in the video was it?
lasoogneypubes Says:
Feb 7, 2012 - @deekante You weren't there either. All we have to see is a black and white video. There were several guys there and none of them said it was just a camera. I do agree that they shouldn't have shot the van because it didn't seem to pose any threat but they didn't know there were kids inside. They really shouldn't have brought their kids.. Jesus what a stupid idea! I agree with how they handled the first situation, but they should have left the van and the wounded alone. I agree with you there.

Feb 1, 2012 - @nagel392 You're absolutely right, they are super courageous shooting from a mile away in the sky. Not to mention the unmanned military drones that drop bombs and fire missiles, you gotta be extremely brave to go to war these days. Is it war anymore, when machines are doing the killing for you? This isn't war, it's a joke. WWI and WWII, those were wars, up against an equal enemy. Oh, and go fuck yourself.
