It's clear that the author felt "let down" by the video. But I don't think he can make a case that wikileaks misrepresented the video. Rather, I think he had unrealistic expectations. He got his expectations up because a) Reuters had been unsuccessfully trying to obtain this video via FOIA b) wikileaks employees had been detained by various gov'ts and c) the video had been heavily encrypted. All of these things are facts, and not a misrepresentation on the part of wikileaks. However, these facts seemed to indicate that the gov't cared about this video not getting out quite a bit, and raised his expectations. Maybe he didn't know what a helicopter video looks like; maybe he expected it to look like Generation Kill, with dudes being like "muahahha let's kill babies and rape women!" However, I didn't think the video would really be anything but boring. What's news is that the U.S. tried to bury this video, not that it makes for great TV.
