Description:
PRESS TV : New video shows US choppers mowing down Iraqis in 2007A new footage of a classified US military video showing the killing of a dozen civilians in Baghdad in 2007 by helicopter gunships has been released. The secret video, released by the whistleblower website WikiLeaks, shows US air crew hunting civilians in the streets of the Iraqi capital purportedly mistaking them for 'insurgents.' US military service members laughed and cursed at their victims that included Reuters photojournalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, and his driver, Saeed Chmagh, who appear unarmed. The footage shows US forces repeatedly firing on a group of civilians and then on a van that stopped to rescue one of the wounded. The US military says the killings were in line with the law of armed conflict and its own 'rules of engagement.' The video, shot from one of the two striking Apache helicopters, was obtained by Wikileaks despite the US Defense Department's blocking of an earlier attempt by Reuters to get hold of the footage via the Freedom of Information Act. Director of Wikileaks, Julian Assange, said his institution decrypted the video for the material to become viewable. The revelation on US military's indiscriminate killing of people in Iraq has become the latest embarrassment for the Pentagon. It also comes after the US armed forces admitted that its special forces attempted to cover up the killing of three Afghan women, in a raid in February, by removing the bullets out of their bodies.

Jan 18, 2011 - Islam has not taken over the country, muslims exist all over the world, it doesnt mean it is an invasion of Islam, this is a common view which is incorrect and designed to install hatred into this religion. The US claims to want a two state solution, but how can the palestinians agree to this whilst Israel continues building setllements, razing palestinian homes in the west bank/Gaza and east jersusalem and destroying mosques?

Jan 18, 2011 - I know it wasnt destroyed by russia, it was supported by the US in order to defeat the russians. Bin Ladens main motivation was the prescence of the US in middle eastern countries and the killing of muslims, however, Bin Laden is a tool used by the US to justify what it is doing around the world to "fight terrorism".

Jan 18, 2011 - Middle Eastern countries are currently under great influence by Western interests, just look at the success Dubai, Qatar and the Gulf states are having because of this, but they are basically selling themselves to the US so they have a stronger base in the middle east to attack countries they choose to not like. I agree some countries have corruption and poverty, and all they can do is turn to militancy to fight those who cause it.

Jan 18, 2011 - Irans people are free, the US and Israel are once again trying to feed people the idea that Iran isnt free, just like it did with Afghanistan and Iraq. If the world falls for yet another lie, the people really are brainwashed and gullible fools. PRotests are caused by Western spies in the country, tell me what happened to the spies Iran arrested who worked for the US, they were sent to the US and Iran was payed off, the US is painting this image of Iran that doesnt exist.

Jan 20, 2011 - And in no other country than the u.s will money decide what the main media should follow..Did this video turn up on fox news..?Anyone defending this video has lost, end of story.There is no control of the military as shown here.. "Iraqi freedom" is in this case(and as we now know, in many cases ) : having some trigger happy morons killing civilians. who in their right minds would vote to have idiots like this defending them?

Jan 23, 2011 - The spread of Islam should not be seen as a bad thing if it is occuring. The media has portrayed Islam as a terrorist religion but in fact is very peaceful and only a small minority along with western media have blown the intricacies of ISlam out of proportion. To be honest, Islam is actually the no 1 growing religion and has been pre 1990, but it doesnt give anyone a threat, espeically christians. religion is practised for personal reassurance.

Jan 23, 2011 - The poorest in Zimbabwe, Niger, Congo, most of central and southern africa have poor people, these are mostly christian leaders who then starve their people? Muslim leaders in Sudan, Ethiopia and Somalia also have to provide for poor people, i dont think they intentionally starve them in africa.What we should be saying is why isnt Israel, the US or other world superpowers provoding money to the poor from their billions in their swiss banks? Why is it going into the military?

Feb 8, 2011 - It's not a small portion, entire Islamic countries beleive in using violence and forcing there religion on you and me. People claim that it's only 13% of Islam that is radical, please dont be so foolish. There are over a billion Islamic followers, many right here in the United States.

Mar 27, 2011 - What do we do when people caring the badges of "law and justice" are the real villains?The people at the pentagon knowswhat is going on and they are the real villains in Iraq, not the supposed "insurgents" who are just innocent people dying for oil and lies.When is George Bush's gang of killers and thieves gonna be judged and jailed (and why not executed?) for the crimes, war crimes, they committed?What you see here is organized crime, nothing else.Who is going to punish these criminals?

May 4, 2011 - The US military says that in the absence of orders... you attack. They said that countless times in Basic Training and still say it today. If you watch Crimson Tide, Gene Hackman's CPT Ramsey is the perfect example of the point I'm making.

Nov 30, 2011 - ABSOLUTELY APALLING! DISGRACEFUL ~ DISGUSTING and nowhere remotely humane. I so hope and pray that those responsible within the helicopter, suffer with a chronic conscience for the rest of their lives on Earth & then thereafter too ~ they deserve that & then of course, Bush, Cheney, Rumsfeld, Rice, Silverstein, Giuliani, Blair, Mossad & EVERY SINGLE perpetrator of this TOTALLY UNCALLED for & UNNECESSARY WAR on INNOCENT PEOPLE, based on their VERY OWN INSIDE 911 JOB, suffer the SAME WAY!SA
