I'm sure most people have heard about this already, but I'm making a post about in case some haven't seen it yet. It is video footage of an attack in Iraq on a group of civilians and another group of people who came to help the civilians by American soldiers. The video is very disturbing and upsetting. If you don't think you can handle watching it, the website collateralmurder.com has transcripts of the video available. This was released by the website wikileaks.com yesterday. The actual attack happened in 2007.

The group of people in the video are civilians. Two people in the group were associated with Reuters. One was a crew person and the other a reporter. There is more about that on the collateral murder website. Had they not been associated with Reuters, I highly doubt this would have ever come to light.

I strongly encourage anyone who reads this to check out wikileaks.com and consider making a donation. That is where the video was first posted, even though the website has been down for a while due to insufficient funding. I apologize for the video not fitting my layout, but I think everyone should visit the collateral murder website and view the video and transcripts there.
