I saw this video months ago on another site. Resurrecting it now is just opportunism and an example of how the media in general has swung further against the war based on the current scandals.

The video was picked over by many people. The long version makes it clear what's happening. For those of you who think they were innocent farmers. Ask yourself what they were doing farming in the middle of the night? When the first man is hit, look at the reaction of second man. Does he dive for cover? No, like a good soldier he desperately tries to unwrap something on his tractor. Not the reaction of farmer. The third man dies because he's there.

From my point of view it's war, not the sanitised version we've been fed. It's nasty and unpleasant

But it gives Beagle and Av18tor and all the others a chance to exercise the anti American prejudices.
Well that's OK then.
