Impossible not to watch that tape and wonder how many of the 'Taliban' we hear are killed by drones every day are just regular Afghanis. The drone pics are usually a lot less clear than in the wikileaks tape. When I first saw it I thought that it must be a fake - the comments from the pilot and gunner were so disconnected from the visuals. Given that this tape only came to attention because two of the dead were journalists, we can only guess how many times similar incidents have been buried. The emotional retardedness of the speakers is almost as depressing as the images.
Hat tip.
