Via Marcy Wheeler and Rachel Maddow, this video obtained by Wikileaks shows what the classified information repository Website claims is an “unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers” by a U.S. helicopter in Baghdad in 2007. “Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded.” The military claimed it was targeting insurgents, and the U.S. personnel in the video do not seem to be deliberately targeting civilians. Gregg Carlstrom has a judicious and balanced response.

As an American, I used to feel really proud like we were something special because it seemed our Constitution and Bill of Rights were truly an accomplishment and gift to the world. But since now they are considered as “just a piece of paper” as Bush said a few years ago, and because we now have to be disgraced by a military so mindlessly running our foreign policy and operating with “rules of engagement” such as this, I feel ashamed because I now know we have turned into just another banana republic like every other piece of shit country in the world.
