YouTube – Collateral Murder – Wikileaks – Iraq.
“WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the 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. For further information please visit the special project website www.collateralmurder.com.”

Released is a word. ‘Edited to make a political point’ is another. Well that’s a phrase, but you take my meaning.
More of the bias you were writing about yesterday. At least these guys ham-handed about it: the KGB would have been more subtle and effective with the agitprop.
