Soo if you haven’t been following this whole wikiLeaks saga, a while back ago wikileaks got hold of a video which the US government did not want them having. Some members were detained and a lot of drama ensued via their twitter where they suddenly stopped posting for several hours drawing some concern. Well today they finally released their video.

http://wikileaks.org/

WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad — including two Reuters news staff. Reuters has been trying to obtain the video through the Freedom of Information Act, without success since the time of the attack. The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-site, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded. For further information please visit the special project website www.collateralmurder.com.

EDIT / UPDATE:

Another great post from reddit explaining military opinion (individual, not government)

TL;DR: I’m military and been right over that neighborhood at a different time; the video may be disturbing but doesn’t strike me as unjustifiable. The coverup is what we should save our real vitriol for. I know some of you will immediately dismiss this as you view everyone in the military as inherently evil. I find that silly. (There are also people who think I can do no wrong because I AM and I find that dangerous). Give it a read anyway

EDIT / UPDATE 2: Now on CNN.

I honestly can’t say I know enough about everything to call it a victory, but these images are definitely entertaining. A good summary can be found here: http://www.reuters.com/article/idUSN1914020220100319

and on the last image.

I was reading about space disasters and came across something that I have never heard of before. Considering the scope of this disaster, I still don’t understand why there is so little information out there about it. I know that China tried to cover it up, but it seems that no one bought their casualty numbers anyway. Anyhow, I thought I would post it here for other people in case they haven’t heard of it.

WHoa!!! I thought this was going to be a satirical article from the Onion or something. Granted, I didn’t read the whole thing but still, whoa.

Assisted suicide for anyone over 70 who has simply had enough of life is being considered in Holland

Non-doctors would be trained to administer a lethal potion to elderly people who ‘consider their lives complete’.
The radical move would be a world first and push the boundaries even further in the country that first legalised euthanasia.
