Just a quick one following up from my post on the Collateral Murder video from two days ago. I've got some more thoughts to formulate on it, but here is a soldier from the company involved in the killing speaking out in response to the video:
"A lot of my friends are in that video. After watching the video, I would definitely say that that is, nine times out of ten, the way things ended up. Killing was following military protocol. It was going along with the rules as they are. If these videos shock and revolt you, they show the reality of what war is like. If you don't like what you see in them, it means we should be working harder towards alternatives to war."—Josh Stieber, identified by commondreams.org as a veteran soldier of the same Company depicted in the Iraq killing video released this week by Wikileaks."
