3. Case was closed years ago..
no crime, not violation of ROE, guys on the ground called in air and either shot the wrong people or the right people.

Sadly these things happen in the course of war... Right now in pakistan.

5. Awe, isn't this video all a part of a fantasy X box game?
:crazy:

We'll be cheer-leading our "leaders" to KILL IRANIANS next. Why? Because WAR has become sanitized to the extent that most Americans have "no skin" in the game. They think they are watching a good war flick ... it doesn't COME HOME to MANY. :grr: :cry: :grr:

8. First correspondent to die covering war? the real deal like Dickey Chapelle
Edited on Tue Apr-13-10 10:15 PM by Pavulon
knew the risk and they covered it. If they were covering enemy and were killed it is a tragedy. again, this is part of modern war.
