>Let's keep things in perspective here: a person flying in a helicopter intentionally fired an explosive missile at a person standing on the ground. I know we're all pretty numb to this happening at this point, but I think it's still pretty shocking when you think about it. Maybe he did think that he was firing on someone carrying an RPG. So? It's still a crazy act, carried out during an illegal war. Calling it "Collateral Murder" doesn't turn me off in the slightest. Fine, a camera can look like an RPG from a distance. But maybe they should be looking a bit closer if everything is looking like an RPG. For me, the most shocking part was when they opened fire on the van with an(other) unarmed civilian that made the mistake of stopping to help the injured people. Then even more shocking when they later discovered the two children who were in the now-destroyed van. Just a man and his children driving in a van. Now murdered for the crime of trying to help a fellow human being. Just a shocking lack of regard for human life. If that's how they operate - and it seems to be - they are nothing but war criminals. What kind of monster would want to protect that kind of behavior from public scrutiny?
