Leaked U.S. video shows deaths of Reuters' Iraqi staffers

Classified U.S. military video showing a 2007 attack by Apache helicopters that killed a dozen people in Baghdad, including two Reuters news staff, was released on [April 5] by a group that promotes leaking to fight government and corporate corruption. The group, WikiLeaks, told a news conference in Washington that it acquired encrypted video of the July 12, 2007, attack from military whistleblowers and had been able to view and investigate it after breaking the encryption code. A U.S. defense official, speaking on condition of anonymity, confirmed that the video and audio were authentic. David Schlesinger, Reuters' editor-in-chief, said the video released by WikiLeaks showed the deaths of [Namir] Noor-Eldeen and [Saeed] Chmagh were "tragic and emblematic of the extreme dangers that exist in covering war zones." "The video released today via WikiLeaks is graphic evidence of the dangers involved in war journalism and the tragedies that can result," he said. Reuters has pressed the U.S. military to conduct a full and objective investigation into the killing of the two staff. WikiLeaks posted the video at https://www.collateralmurder.com (https://www.collateralmurder.com).

The only reason this event made news is because the two cameramen killed were Reuters reporters. US forces then fired on an unarmed van with children in it, which was attempting to bring the dead and wounded out of the combat zone. How many innocent civilians are killed like this and never make the news? Please spread this important video and help others to wake up and work together to stop the creulty of some of the US forces. The Pentagon is working hard to shut down Wikileaks (https://wikileaks.org/), the organization which secured this powerful video.

It's quite possible that this was intentionally leaked by the Pentagon. It's an effective advertisement of our lethal capability that will instill extreme fear in the so-called enemy.

If it was intentionally leaked to promote fear rather than truth,
1. Why would another website link be given in case the original is shut down?
2. Why did it take 3 years to expose this when our government is known to put out their "truth" videos immediately to instill fear?
3. Why is the Pentagon working hard to shut down Wikileak?

Reuters had been trying to obtain that video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success, since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.

It's called sophisticated propaganda. Wikileak may be completely legitimate, and that makes them the perfect stooge. Plausible deniability is an art.

And by the way, the Pentagon could shut them down in an instant if they wanted to.
