    Collateral Murder

    Video Shows 2007 Air Attack in Baghdad That Killed Photographer - NYTimes.com


    WASHINGTON — The Web site WikiLeaks.org released a graphic video on Monday showing an American helicopter shooting and killing a Reuters photographer and driver in a July 2007 attack in Baghdad.
    A senior American military official confirmed that the video was authentic.

    Reuters had long pressed for the release of the video, which consists of 38 minutes of black-and-white aerial video and conversations between pilots in two Apache helicopters as they open fire on people on a street in Baghdad. The attack killed 12, among them the Reuters photographer, Namir Noor-Eldeen, 22, and the driver, Saeed Chmagh, 40.

    At a news conference at the National Press Club, WikiLeaks said it had acquired the video from whistle-blowers in the military and viewed it after breaking the encryption code. WikiLeaks edited the video to 17 minutes.

    David Schlesinger, the editor in chief of Reuters news, said in a statement that the video was “graphic evidence of the dangers involved in war journalism and the tragedies that can result.”

    On the day of the attack, United States military officials said that the helicopters had been called in to help American troops who had been exposed to small-arms fire and rocket-propelled grenades in a raid. “There is no question that coalition forces were clearly engaged in combat operations against a hostile force,” Lt. Col. Scott Bleichwehl, a spokesman for the multinational forces in Baghdad, said then.

    But the video does not show hostile action. Instead, it begins with a group of people milling around on a street, among them, according to WikiLeaks, Mr. Noor-Eldeen and Mr. Chmagh. The pilots believe them to be insurgents, and mistake Mr. Noor-Eldeen’s camera for a weapon. They aim and fire at the group, then revel in their kills.

    <object width="640" height="505"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/5rXPrfnU3G0&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0 x9461ca"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/5rXPrfnU3G0&hl=en_GB&fs=1&color1=0x402061&color2=0 x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="640" height="505"></embed></object>


    “Look at those dead bastards,” one pilot says. “Nice,” the other responds.

    A wounded man can be seen crawling and the pilots impatiently hope that he will try to fire at them so that under the rules of engagement they can shoot him again. “All you gotta do is pick up a weapon,” one pilot says.

    A short time later a van arrives to pick up the wounded and the pilots open fire on it, wounding two children inside. “Well, it’s their fault for bringing their kids into a battle,” one pilot says.

    At another point, an American armored vehicle arrives and appears to roll over one of the dead. “I think they just drove over a body,” one of the pilots says, chuckling a little.

    Reuters said at the time that the two men had been working on a report about weightlifting when they heard about a military raid in the neighborhood, and decided to drive there to check it out.

    “There had been reports of clashes between U.S. forces and insurgents in the area but there was no fighting on the streets in which Namir was moving about with a group of men,” Reuters wrote in 2008. “It is believed two or three of these men may have been carrying weapons, although witnesses said none were assuming a hostile posture at the time.”

    The American military in Baghdad investigated the episode and concluded that the forces involved had no reason to know that there were Reuters employees in the group. No disciplinary action was taken.

    Late Monday, the United States Central Command, which oversees the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, released the redacted report on the case, which provided some more detail.

    The report showed pictures of what it said were machine guns and grenades found near the bodies of those killed. It also stated that the Reuters employees “made no effort to visibly display their status as press or media representatives and their familiar behavior with, and close proximity to, the armed insurgents and their furtive attempts to photograph the coalition ground forces made them appear as hostile combatants to the Apaches that engaged them.”

    Brian Stelter contributed reporting from New York.

    This was pre-meditated murder, plain and simple.

    Even the TV viewer can see these people weren't carrying AK-47s.....and the special forces hovering overhead can't see even better than the TV viewer?

    And I suppose the children were just really short insurgents?

    These killers should be put against a wall and executed.

    And don't tell me the "fog of war" bullshit......

    Not premeditated, more like a crime of passion. But pretty fucking nauseating nonetheless...

    The killers were calmly observing, and waiting for the victims to provoke them...such as pick up a weapon.

    This wasn't a crime of passion...it was calmly premeditated murder.

    Oh please, tell me the difference between a camera and a Milan anti-tank missile at several hundred meters visual range.

    But I'm not apologizing, I agree that U.S. forces here lacked professionalism and a military bearing (restraint)...

    Several hundred meters visual range? Fucking bullshit....Try about 20 metres viewing range. Did you see the footage?

    The TV viewer can clearly see thay don't have AK-47s..........Gimme a fucking break.

    And as the TV pundits from the intelligence community explained so well...if they were insurgents, they should have captured them...especially after they were lying dying on the ground...

    Stop making bullshit excuses...these soliders are murderers......They just wanted to kill....regardless.

    And of course the children were clearly not carrying weapons.....Notwithstanding the fact they were clearly children.....

    Of course the children were clearly children at several hundred meters via IR cam. And no one had concealed weapons and all that shit you're trying to make some easy, cut-and-dry decision --which never exists in war...

    You're just another fucking troll tosser. so why do I bother?

    The MSNBC footage discusses the "Ak-47s".

    And anti-tank weapons have a more noticable profile than an AK-47, don't they? And the TV viewer csan clearly see they aren't fucking carrying rocket launchers.....

    were you the one that made the threatening phone calls, calling in a bomb threat?

    What do you mean, nothing definitive?

    The zoom is down to maybe 20 metres. Are you fucking blind or just didn't watch it?

    You can clearly see they are unarmed......and prompter points out which 2 guys in the crowd are the Reuters reporters....hard to fukcing do if you're too far away.

    And then of course, you fail to defend the killers from noting the children they tried to kill.

    I guess thats probably due to the lack of real football in terms of the NFL and NCAA we have here.

    Back to insulting like a motherfucker.

    I often wonder what Tard's on Fire life is like. Must be real shit, if he's always so bitter & aggressive.

    Maybe it's not really is fault.

    Maybe we should cut him some slack.

    ...

    HAHAHAHAHA!!! I kill myself at times.

    Hey Tard on Fire... I'll bet you you can't go 10 pots without resorting to bitterly insulting someone.

    Cheers! :bottle:

    What?

    Why did "us guys" try to kick out Motley Crue? Who the fuck is "us guys"?

    Oh right...the American thinks all Canadians know each other...and we don't have cars.

    And thus the futility of any attempts at rational discussion with you.

    You should go back to protesting Obamacare.....

    Yup....money...freedom...work if and when I feel like it.....and everything else.

    Yes...so bitter and angry.......I just like to watch idiots like you bumble and stutter...with absolutely nothing to say of any intelligence at all.

    And of course, avoiding the topic and discussion at hand......With insults and diversions.

    You haven't contributed anything to the topic of the thread.....but that's no surprise.

    I think I said I did, ADATS. But, apparently you're ignorant to the fact that no definitive conclusions can be drawn from even 20m...

    You can clearly see they are unarmed......and prompter points out which 2 guys in the crowd are the Reuters reporters....hard to fukcing do if you're too far away.
    No one "clearly" sees anything. Do you even know what a MILAN is?

    And then of course, you fail to defend the killers from noting the children they tried to kill.
    Um, WTF does that sentence even mean? Why did I "fail to defend the killers from nothing the children they tried to kill?" I don't think I even tried...

    No doubt shit like this used to happen in previous wars all the time before we had video evidence but there are some problems here apart from an apparent cover up attempt.

    1) It seems to confirm this gung ho kill em all reputation the US air military suffers from. I think there is a training problem here whereby the worry that people won't fire at all has been replaced with an eagerness. That's particularly inappropriate in this theatre.

    2) Even if the camera had been an RPG what about the rest of them who were obviously unarmed? The video doesn't show the context in that there was apparently some prior small arms fire in the area. Even if that is so which we are going to start to doubt after

    3) What is the agenda in killing people who try to rescue wounded?

    4) I think one of the things that pisses me off about this is the comments about 'Great shooting'. That anyone could think that was in any way a heroic incredibly skilled action is sickening.

    Does all the militarism and military worship amongst the US population encourage this?

    5) Why have concern for innocent children but none for civilian adults?

    Smacks of PR concerns...

    I couldn't agree more that a "gung ho" willingness to fire is completely fucking retarded. I think I've tried to argue that, and that the US pilots were wrong and should never have fucking fired overall. But I'm a bit tired. So I won't point out that if this were Northern Ireland, and they were alleged-IRA, you wouldn't mind so much...

    2) Even if the camera had been an RPG what about the rest of them who were obviously unarmed? The video doesn't show the context in that there was apparently some prior small arms fire in the area. Even if that is so which we are going to start to doubt after
    But they crowded around an event afterward, which some ignorant take for guilt. I stated I don't agree. But spare me that this is all some cut-and-dry massacre. It isn't!

    3) What is the agenda in killing people who try to rescue wounded?
    I dunno. You're asking the wrong guy as I think I've fucking stated no less than three times now that they were wrong...

    4) I think one of the things that pisses me off about this is the comments about 'Great shooting'. That anyone could think that was in any way a heroic incredibly skilled action is sickening.
    I agree, and was nauseated by that as well. But let's not pretend we don't have our individual ethnic hatreds and blood feuds...

    I hate them all. But I try not to make hypocritical distinctions between them that amount to hindsight, second-guessing, and blatant double-standards...

    Does all the militarism and military worship amongst the US population encourage this?
    Oh please, does anyone in Europe, the home of the bloodiest pogroms of the 20th century of "Enlightenment" really need to ask this?

    5) Why have concern for innocent children but none for civilian adults?

    I have concern for all, which is why I believe there should be a fair inquiry into all of this. But not a fucking politically expedient witch-hunt!

    This is something that has pondered me while writing this script....

    Can any active war not have war criminals?

    It appears to me by the shear nature of war there should be war criminals.
    To not have war criminal accounted for, there would need to be a fudge of the records.
