Editor of Wikileaks elaborates on the video.
He also goes on about the authenticity of the footage
"Just 20 minutes after that serious and disturbing event, a hellfire missile attack is conducted on a nearby house that from the roof appears to be under construction. and that attack killed another *something* military records 6 people but potenially, maybe significantly more another 6"

— Wikileaks has obtained and decrypted this previously unreleased video footage from a US Apache helicopter in 2007. It shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad. They are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred. Wikileaks released this video with transcripts and a package of supporting documents on April 5th 2010 on http://collateralmurder.com

has the military confirmed the leak as their copy of the recording?
Although I think it could be real. It is "circumspect" until both parties confirm it then it becomes established fact.

Exactly. Lefty sack of blogger Matthew Yglesias (one of Lebez's favorites I might add) is calling this a "massacre" and a "cover up", which is hilarious because Centcom released the results of the entire investigation report, showing point by point through what really happened.... which Wikileaks turned into an edited infomercial prior to their posting of it. The FULL report can be seen here, including all screen shots:
As explained in the breakdown above, Reuters should stop paying reporters to embedd themselves with known terrorists... which by doing so automatically makes themselves propoganda tools and enemy combatants. Stupid s.

I'm not going to read any further than that. Keep on acting exactly like every other childish person in this country. You're really doing your part to help pull our political system out of the proverbial ter. But hey, you stayed true to what you said in the Guam thread, so at least you're a man of your word.

You ing tool I ing hate stupid ing fag s like you. Its ing war people die you prick say that if they shot your dad and brother. The US shot some men and kids from a gunship for no reason and your cool with it?
You think you can say like "get a helmet because" your on ing line and you think no one can see you? If you said that around me and my buddies in a bar you would remeber the day you chose to make a joke about men and children getting gunned down by helicopters. Man I think the internet sucks sometimes. s like this make jokes about human lives being taken and no one says anything. Man up Cor and stop allowing the scourge of humankind to post in these things unchallenged. You all going to sit there and let this guy make jokes about some poor dad and son picking up probably their dead brother (a cameraman) after western forces (USA really) gun them down?
