[edit] Boy, the world never ceases to surprise me

Really, is there any fun of seeing an innocent person die? I learned about it today from this article [2] and a quick googling confirmed the bbc journalist aren't hallucinating. Now, what was the need of that war again? WMD -> None, Bring humanity -> Nope, replaced on beast for an equally evil one. Thanks god history will judge Mr Blair well.

As much of a political opinion as the above is, ...any who

(reason for my edit)

I edited the entry to clear up some misconceptions that partisan media groups are prone to spread. Groups like the Cristian Science Monitor and UK Guardian are generally good outlets but their info on the video story was inaccurate and therefore should only be mentioned as a footnote on mainstream media inadvertantly spreading misconceptions.

One lists random shooting of Iraqis--the video does not show that. It shows vehicles rapidly approaching PSD convoys where everyone else in the area noticed the huge sign thats stenciled on the back of the vehicles, (in Arabic), telling them to stay 100 meters back or be fired upon--a detail that has yet to be mentioned in the media but is severely mandatory for Aegis vehicles. Notice all the other vehicles in the distance--they're not stopped at a stop light or sign...they're slowly rolling forward pacing the convoy.

The contention in the video, (and the subject matter of the investigation), is not weather the vehicles should've been fired upon or not, but instead--why did they sustain fire after the vehicles stopped and from such a distance. --TBAS 01:57, 7 February 2006 (UTC) 06 Feb 2006
