So, some topics people post online end up being listed by the US gov’t and can potentially impact visa applications etc. I know of several examples where it has happened recently. C’est la vie.
This footage http://bit.ly/9V5NBP was recently brought to my attention by Josh (author of a beginners guide to dying in India). It is one of the more fucked up things I have seen. Yeah there are two guys carrying rifles – but they are crossing the road and not engaged in any sort of activity. 11 people died, 2 children, 2 journalists. One of the journalists was a 22yo iraqi war photographer whose work I had seen on deviantart. Both journo’s worked for reuters. At one point his canon l series lens is regarded as an RPG from the US troops in an apache helicopter above them. He died soon after. The US troops also laugh after they discover they shot 2 children saying “they shouldn’t have bought their kids to war”. Pity that the parents were just picking up wounded friends in a van.
The messed up things about this – it is now over 2 years since the event occurred and wikileaks released the story. Apart from that I recently found out that a Saudi Arabian friend had this footage close to two years ago… and it was released in islamic media sites but just never made it to main stream media. Civillians die in war, but these guys are ridiculously trigger happy and show no remorse for killing civilians. They need to learn the value of human life.
