Controversial Apache attack that resulted in death of journalists released

I just can't understand what father would hear cannon fire (or other destructive sounds) and see a bunch of dead bodies chunky and freshly misted.... and still keep his kids around.

My favorite part was when the Wikileak video goes back and points to the two white specs in the front seat and says "the two children". As if there was anyway the pilots of the Apache could've known those two static white specs on their 6x6inch monitor were two children inside the van. It's F-ing infrared, not X-ray vision.

Are you kidding? Carnage, explosions, and the pink mist...it's like Disneyland for Iraqi children!

"It said that it has not been sent 260,000 classified US embassy cables that Mr Manning reportedly leaked to the site."
What the hell is an intelligence "cable", handle via PM if necessary.

Army specialist was the "leak" for this video:

Not only is the guy a moron for leaking classified info he is also an asshole who probably made everyone's life who works in a space like he did a hell of a lot more difficult. I hope he gets a chance to break big rocks into little ones for a while.

Reports from US Embassies and other State Department foreign posts are still called 'cables', just like the military still has 'message traffic' even though it is often distributed by email nowadays.
