Investigative organization WikiLeaks released classified U.S. military video today showing the killing of more than a dozen Iraqis, including two Reuters employees, with a spokesperson for the whistle-blower group slamming the soldiers involved for their "video game" like behavior.

That video, which is incredibly disturbing and graphic, shows a group of Iraqis walking the streets of New Baghdad, identified as armed "insurgents" by military personnel. The group, which reportedly included Reuters photojournalist Namir Noor-Eldeen and assistant Saeed Chmagh, is gunned down by a pair of Apache attack helicopters. Later, a minivan that appears to come to the assistance of the wounded is fired upon.

Australian journalist and WikiLeaks advisory board member Julian Assange released the video at the National Press Club in Washington. "The behavior of the pilots is like they're playing a video game," said Assange, according to a report from Fox News. "It's like they want to get high-scores in that computer game."

Wow that was interesting, It's actually really like that AC-130 mission on cod4. Im not sure what they mean by video game behaviour though they to me they appeared to do everything by the book but im not an expert and don't have a clue what im suppose to be looking for.

if they had ak47s and an rpg, then surely they were entitled to shoot at them?
thats the whole point in being in iraq? making it a safer place for iraqis, and taking out people who openly carry ak47s and rpgs is a good step forward lol.
