Just wanted to point out how the Marines kept referring to the one guy(Saeed) they chased down the street as "bodies"
Ah,
Weapons. We originally went to Iraq in search for Weapons of mass destruction. A Graffiti Writer with a SLR Camera in hand will usually be lifted of all suspicions, whether he's on top of a roof or in an abandoned building. Catch my drift? Not to say there aren't any weapons around there, hell those guys in the van could very well have been looking for weapons.
The Marines repeatedly requested for permission to engage the van because they were picking up "bodies". Stress must not be the only factor for their offbeat judgement because clearly they left their glasses at home, but that can't be:
Delusional? You can come up with your own conclusion
The only kind act by the Marines here(intentional or not) would be:
1. Marine(s) on standby, waiting for Saeed to pick up a weapon so he/they can end his misery. The military would've been in for some shit, had Saeed lived through this predicament to tell the story from HIS perspective. Either way, the truth is finding its way through the
thick fog.
2. After shooting the crap out of the van and people, the Marine(s) give the victims a final moment of silence on Earth before they pierce them again with a second round of bullets, out of the blue. What.
^ This was a little after the first attack...I guess blind firing to be on the safe side isn't a bad idea in this case
All of my posts have been extracted from the short video. I'm curious to know how much of it is edited and if it was purposely edited in a biased manner to obtain a certain reaction, but apparently the full 40 minute video on Youtube is the raw unedited gun-camera footage, rendering it as viable source would it not? I'll have to check it out sometime.

^I think that's the book the editor of Wikileaks was talking about. Can someone photocopy the chapter about the "Collateral Murder" in Baghdad?

From that birds eye view, it must have been like a game of Grand Theft Auto, just shooting away at ants. No need to feel sorry since you can't see the emotion on their faces from that height anyway

Was Namir Noor-Eldeen really the one who was shot down in that video? He's such a great photographer :/
Yes. Marines in the helicopter were laughing about how the Humvee drove over his dead body
