I can't help but laugh at wikileaks and their claim that if anything happened to them before April 5th it was because of the US government. The gun camera video they decoded doesn't show anything wrong on the part of the Apache crew. The two Iraqi journalists were in the company of armed men, and, yes, two of the men at least were armed with an AK-47 and an RPG. US ground units nearby were also being engaged by insurgents, why do you think the photographer would be shooting photos from behind cover of a wall around a corner?
So lets see if you have two journalists accompanying insurgents in the vicinity of an engagement with friendly forces what conclusion might be drawn from the shoulder straps seen so clearly in the video? Sorry for the reporters but it sucks for them, and as a soldier I figure they got what they deserved. If you are going to publicize or promote terrorists then tough SH** if you get blown away. It just means one less video or whatever for Al-Jazeera. Everything else that happened sucked they still did the right thing though. The van that pulled up was giving aid and comfort to the enemy and that is all there is to it.
Does what happened to the two kids suck? Yes it does, does what happened to the reporters suck? NO, they knew the risks or should have and if that makes me cruel and heartless then yes I am...lol...I have more sympathy for the helicopter crew, because they are the ones who have lived with what happened that day.
