One hour documentary about WikiLeaks.

[WillYourVoteBCounted]

1. 20 min in, the Collateral Murder vid, with narrator who gives new details

Thanks to the narrator, we learn a bit more about that video in particular.

For example:

First, the guys in the helicopter shoot down and murder the Reuters reporters,
using a 30 MM gun. You can see that the reporters aren't carrying weapons.

The guys in the helicopter laugh.

Then, a van comes by, and the folks in it try to pick up the wounded reporter they see crawling.
The helicopter soldiers then shoot the van up.

The guys in the helicopter laugh.

Then troops on the ground discover that this van has children in it.
They are wounded. The driver, their father, is dead.

The guys in the helicopter laugh.
They say - oh well, they shouldn't have been driving in a war zone.

The father, the van driver, was taking his children to school.

3. Thanks WillYourVoteBeCounted

For your description. Unfortunately in the middle of posting this a neighbor came to my door asking for my help, so I just posted it without any description.

6. This is exactly why war is so wrong.... and should not be able

to be a profit making industry.

2. Excellent documentary

Thank you, Xicano.

I didn't plan on getting this documentary any other way, which sort of goes along with our system of transparency in the US.

I thought it was a good documentary too. Cheers to those who produced it.

5. Best and most disturbing hour I have spent in a long time.

In Australia the broadcast of the helicopter attack was always
sanitized.

Information is power.. or so the saying goes. As much as
anything the sheer arrogance of those in power to give us only
one side of the story ,trickling out small amounts of
information and then saying that we should trust 'them' to
make the big decisions is truly staggering. What is more we
are asked to vote for them every 3-4 years  and then crawl
back to our couches to watch football and eat pizza.

Well , no more we have the information now we are obligated to
do something. If nothing else we must question our leaders
relentlessly.
