several files a truck osama bin laden despite us claims to have seen no reliable information on him in the news cheeks of men it will take weeks to assess the damage caused by these revelations or to garner has been hearing from soldiers involved in the last major wiki leak. not knowing something they any military tries to keep under wraps civilians killed during an operation this april the pentagon saw one of its skeletons walk out of the closet a secret video from american soldiers opening with looks like indiscriminate fire in a baghdad suburb three years ago more than a dozen people were recruited dan including two liters new staff also two children were wounded the incident was investigated then the u.s. military concluded that the actions of the soldiers were in accordance with the law of armed conflict and its own rules of engagement so while the us military is ok

with causing some collateral damage it's when civilians die in the course of action a number of soldiers who were involved in those killings now speak out and say this shouldn't be a norm of warfare you can see in of these in macau who are a soldier with the unit that's shown in the video said it hadn't been a one time experience and went elsewhere is to say shooters in his unit were ordered to kill civilians in certain circumstances mccord said the message they got from their commander was if someone in your line gets hit with an improvised explosive device three sixty rotational fire you kill everyone on the street. josh stieber served in the same unit as ethan mccord he refused to talk about the order because of as he said this threats and warnings that he'd received from his former army fellows with the secret video of how the coptic killings seemed nothing

unusual today from our experiences what was shown in that video was no uncommon and happened on a fairly regular basis just as the training they'd gone through did not angry much sensitivity either he remembers one of the song soldiers were made to sing the more intense on going is because i went down to the market where all the children were all women shop where i was shoddy and i began to chop josh and a group of other former soldiers are now touring the us and telling people of their experiences and their regret for me it was when i was finally able to kind of put myself in the in the shoes of of other people. and really start to imagine how i'd feel if people were doing to me what i was doing telling people on a regular basis of still runs in people's homes sometimes in the middle of the

night raising kids and then children's faces. some blame the type of war the us was sliding for the psychological trauma so many american soldiers are now going through it was a very disorienting and destabilizing condition of warfare for most american soldiers to try to separate the benign populace from the insurgents who wanted to kill them that were absolutely indistinguishable from regular civilians. seven roger. eason mccord and josh stieber signed a letter of apology to the mother of the children hurt during the operation and pledged to change from the inside out again is chicken art team washington d.c. . but online whistleblower is knowledge checking into reports dealing with u.s. conduct in iraq it's thought it could expose similar findings to the thousands of

documents already posted on the web filmmaker and blogger danny schechter says it heralds a new era of media investigations truth is the first casualty in war it always is and that the united states government has a big apparatus in a sense to manage and muzzle the news and information to try to. kind of engineer perception of the public and so of course they tend to emphasize the positive they downplay the negative so there's a lot of you know that this trust in the media of the pentagon and the pentagon's motives so the idea that you could go to do actual data the actual reports by sort of interest in the field of what happened and make that available to the public so that people can judge for themselves is quite a step and then not just doing it because of a belief in media or a belief in being against war they're doing it out of a belief in democracy you know that the founder of wiki leaks told the german

magazine der spiegel that he likes to crush bastards that it's bowed if he wants to try to get the truth out and of course in their view the truth here is that this war is not only unwinnable but it's been savaged it's taken a many many innocent lives and that's what they're really trying to show with this this is a problem for the obama administration too because you know one of the great heroes of the people who supported obama it was daniel ellsberg the person who leaked the pentagon papers now the u.s. government is condemning we killed leaks so this could have political consequences for the obama administration as well and you know it really shows that the media really is not what it used to be it's not just a few major newspapers but smaller players can have a big impact in the media landscape. still to come here on r t one salafi
