IRAQ: US WAR CRIMES

Zmag: Smoke Them by Robert Fisk
Video Shows Wounded Iraqis Being Shot by US Helicopters


The pictures are appalling, the words devastating. As a wounded Iraqi crawls from beneath a burning truck, an American helicopter pilot tells his commander that one of three men has survived his night air attack. "Someone wounded,' the pilot cries. Then he received the reply: "Hit him, hit the truck and him.' As the helicopter's gun camera captures the scene on video, the pilot fires a 30mm gun at the wounded man, vaporising him in a second.

British and most European television stations censored the tape off the air last night on the grounds that the pictures were too terrible to show. But deliberately shooting a wounded man is a war crime under the Geneva Conventions and this extraordinary film of US air crews in action over Iraq is likely to create yet another international outcry.

Rense: Video - Iraqi Farmers Slaughtered By US Apache Copter

In the video, the 'vehicle' on the left side of the frame is clearly a farm tractor...

"The clip was cut from a longer video obtained by ABC News last week and verified by a senior US army official." - WRH.com

Der Film ist schon seit über 3 Monaten im Internet. Wieso wohl die TV Station mit der Austrahlung solange gewartet haben?
