Hi, all. I seldom have time to post on this group, but I think this needs
to be spread around. A credible web organization called WikiLeaks today set
up a web site documenting the 2007 death of Namir Noor-Eldeen, 22, a
photographer for Reuters in Iraq. The site includes very chilling video
from the US helicopter that shot and killed Noor-Eldeen and 10 other
individuals, as well as wounding two children.
It seems that photographic equipment was mistaken for weapons.
I gather that the issue is now becoming prominent in mainstream media. In
Canada, the CBC has this:

I encourage our American friends to take a look at this, draw their own
conclusions, and speak to their elected representatives as they feel
appropriate. Personally, I feel that the military personnel who misjudged
the situation, and those who have denied culpability, must be made
accountable..
