I do agree with you. The video is incomplete, What needs to be released along with the video is what evidence, besides them gathering in a group, they had that this was a "Known Group of Insurgents". Killing every person that gathers in a group is not right, not should it ever be. Imagine you were in their shoes, the rest of the world decides to invade the US because they didnt agree with the thoughts and ideals of our government, or felt that we were picking on the middle east. Then the rest of the world comes in with their tanks, helocopters and armies, and kills any group of people that gathers with more than 5 people. How would you feel about this? How scared would you be just living your life? This is what is happening over there, regardless of how you look at it. Sure yes there are "terrorists" plotting against the US, But there are just as many people doing the same on our shores. And if the other countries that were "helping" us, accidentally kill innocent people, and consider it collateral damage, how would you feel about this?
Just a little food for thought. I dont want to turn this into a huge political thread again, but sometimes you really need to think about how the other side feels. We have killed so so many innocent people, we will kill more, but are we that decensitized (sp?) about war and violence that the endless killing of Iraqi citizens mean nothing?
