Youtube has capped the view count for this video at 359 @11:05 central.

2. Thank you for posting it here. I was going to ask you to do so on your GD thread and
decided to take a look here before I did.

I haven't watched it yet because the processor is too slow on this computer for flash but downloading it right now as an mp4.

3. It is chilling.
Worse, is that it seems so routine and fun for the murderers in the Apache. This is what war does to people.

4. sickening
If the individuals involved in this are not punished to the fullest extent of the law, then justice is simply dead.

6. You think this was the only incident? I don't.
The voices sounded like these types of actions were routine.

14. I don't know if you've seen this already, but I posted a video of another incident filmed by CNN

In your GD thread: http://www.democraticunderground.com/discuss/duboard.php?az=show_mesg&forum=389&topic_id=8090566&mesg_id=8091025

The Wikileaks & CNN videos give a good insight into the mindset of the army while Busch was Commander In Chief.

5. "Come on let us shoot"
I think that says it all for me...our troops have lost all moral compass and now look forward to killing....what a disgrace for us.

7. Hearings
if there are no congressional investigation(s) into this matter, I feel there is no reason to vote for any party. I'm not trying to rile people up with that statement, it's just my opinion.
I hope Rachel or Keith report on this. I know nobody else will.

11. Some people do care
I'd like to thank the people from wikileaks for taking such risks to better inform the people. They do a great job! I am sure the "liberal" media will bury this so fast your head will spin like a top in a hurricane.

13. If DUers really give a shit about this country this should be on the Greatest page asap.
Exposing this bullshit is true American patriotism. These soldiers are laughing and joking while doing a totally fucked up job of shooting innocent people and reporters. If DU wants to be relevant in the future vote this thread up people otherwise your all just kidding yourselves about what America stands for.

16. Chilling......and a good reason
for the hatred of Americans in the region, if support of Israel's treatment of Palestinians wasn't enough.

Those people looked to me to be civilians, and the civilians weren't engaged in any combat fire. It's repulsive. Moreover, those children weren't taken to a battle; that rationalization is sickening.

21. Recommended
Wikileaks should be considered for the Nobel Peace Prize, and everyone has to see this video.
