Wikileaks releases video of Iraq journalist shooting
by Declan McCullagh

A gritty video released by Wikileaks on Monday shows U.S. troops in Iraq destroying a vehicle that was preparing to rush a wounded Reuters journalist to the hospital.

The secret black-and-white video, recorded by at least one Apache helicopter that was shooting at a group of about a dozen people, appears to show the death of a Reuters photographer and his assistant, who were unarmed.

The U.S. Army had rejected Reuters' earlier requests, including ones made under the Freedom of Information Act, to disclose the July 2007 video. Government sources told both Reuters and the Associated Press on Monday that the clip is authentic.

Wikileaks calls it "murder." A Pentagon spokesman, on the other hand, said at the time: "There is no question that coalition forces were clearly engaged in combat operations against a hostile force."........
