Sometimes They Mess Up

Making the rounds: Wikileaks has dug out a combat film from an Apache attack which they term, "collateral murder." Time posted this analysis which, eventually, makes a few good points about just how tough it is to get this sort of thing right. Looks to me like they messed up, and a whole bunch of people died because of the mistake. Still, the video is three years old, and it would seem this sort of thing stopped happening a short time later.

Apaches were never meant to be sniper weapons, and using them as such will always risk a tragedy of this sort.

Some doubt to the veracity of the story. The video shows not what happened before, and the streets are strangely devoid of non fighters.

Instapundit had a post up about it, but for some reason your spam filter will not let me post the link.
