Iraq. Hi tech killing of journalists?

[juncarino]

here's a real time video of US forces in Iraq using hi-tech to kill Iraqi journalists.

Video shows deaths of two Reuters journalists in Iraq in 2007 - CNN.com

the way the gunners/pilot/control speak, it's just like in video games.

damn...note to self: use small cameras instead of bmf dslrs.

It didn't show the actual shooting, but I would imagine a person being hit by a 30mm cannon would be ripped apart into pieces.

But, I would disagree to Sensei Jun's statement, "US forces in Iraq using hi-tech to kill Iraqi journalists..." The CNN correspondents in the video said that Military and Reuters confirmed that there was no intention to kill journalists. They were mistaken as insurgents. As it said, this is a brutal reminder of things that happen in war. I strongly reject war.

Ah, yes. after going over it again. You are right LBB.

Anyway, I was fascinated by the hitech involved. the very stable video cam used. and also served as gunsight too.

disappointing... of all those tech advancements, they can't seem to find a fix for human stupidity.

the fog of war... or maari rin na napagtripan yung mga napatay katulad ng ginawa ng mga black water...

nakita ko toh na pinost sa sherdog..

kung napanood nyo yung vid.. may kasalanan ren yung mga journalists eh.. they acted very suspiciously.. at tsaka nakihalubilo sila sa mga insurgents..

kapag hinalo mo sarili mo sa masasamang tao.. asahan mo madadamay ka..

pinagtataka ko lang.. bat ang daming nagrereact kapag may napatay na civilian yung mga american forces? as if naman na sinadya.. nasa battlefield namatay yung mga civilian.. hindi naman random na lugar..

pero kapag itong mga terrorista nagpapasabog sa isang mataong lugar.. wala masyadong nagrereact.. kasi nature na nila yun?

medyo biased eh..

about dun naman sa van na nag-act lang as humanitarian something.. kung totoong inosente yung mga yun.. mali yung ginawa nila.. why would you risk yourself and your children to save somebody na kinoconsider na enemy ng america? maganda intention.. hindi pinagisipan ang pagsasagawa..

at kung talagang nagiisip ka.. bat mo dadalin yung mga bata sa hotzone?????

at kung talgang ginagamit mo utak mo.. bat ka maglalakad lakad na parang namamasyal at may hawak ka pang bagay na pwede mapagkamalang weapon sa battlefield??????

common sense is not so common anymore...

To some point, I have to agree with you on that.
