As far as I know they have mistaken a TV crew for some armed people. Big deal. This sort of fuckups happen all the time in any war. That's called "collateral damage". If you don't want any you can't shoot on people from a helicopter 300m away from your target, through a low res B&W video. In fact there are very few things any army could do if we wanted to have zero collateral damage. When congress authorizes a war, the reality is that they authorize the fact that these things may happen.

I'm not pro-Irak war, quite the contrary. But the fact that civilians have been killed isn't exactly a hidden secret that was uncovered by the leaks

This sort of insults has nothing to do on HN
