Two Reuters journalists' cameras were mistaken for guns in the video and they were shot and killed along with two Iraqi children.  That's war I suppose.

The classified video was released at WikiLeaks.com which is a secure place for people to post similar leaks without any risk of being traced.

That is one of the dangers of being a wartime journalist who runs with the enemy.  If you run around with guys with RPGs, and you carry a telescopic camera lens that looks very similar from a chopper, youre probably gonna get shot.  Like Bush said, youre wither with us or them.

Shit like that has happened forever we just have the technology to capture it as it happens now...... just be thankful for the brave troops who defend our country and protect all the haters' freedoms.

Should televise this shit, call it Hunting Hajis.....show it late night on cable once a month...


The 2 retarded Reuters journalists knew exactly who they were rolling with, and most importantly, what the implications of that decision were.  If anything, this should serve as a reminder to all the other retarded journalists out there who want to hang with the hajis. 

I enjoyed watching that immensely, thank you Spitfire.

Unfortunately this is the sad reality of warfare, people have to die and sometimes its just being in the wrong place at the wrong time

Journalists in war zones have been credited with saving thousands of lives over the years in various wars. The Jessica Lynch story can likely be told because of an Iraqi Journalist that witnessed suspicious activities.

I can personally attest to Somalia journalists risking their lives daily to report on activities of both the government and rebels.

Its sad that some are both glorifying and taking pride in their deaths.

They knew full well what the implications of their decision were.  Epic stupidity. EPIC 

And now because of their stupidity their friends and family will mourn and suffer for a long time. They are the ones I feel sorry for.

So forgive me if I fail to find any sort of respect for 2 enormously selfish and stupid clowns who made an epic mistake. Pathetic.

It is hardly stupidity to put yourself in a position to save the lives of others, as many war journalists have done.

There is no fine line between stupidty and heroism.

As your simple racist mind see's it

...maybe most people you meet can't handle it because it's juvenile and mildly offensive.

Just a thought

I love International Studies majors! And you being a little stoney from Canada only makes it that much cooler.

This is OLD.

But every time my roommate or I are playing COD or Battlefield and we're in a chopper... we say that were slaughtering Iraqi journalists!

haha there's actually a level in Battlefield Bad Company 2 that looks EXACTLY like the location in the video...  if anyone plays, it's the one where you start with all the tanks but eventually move down the hill into the town -- that area looks identical! I can almost see the journalist peeking around the corner in the game! haha
