Iraq: Wikileaks video of US military killing journalists - Boing Boing:

"Update: As of 2PM PT, a Senior U.S. official is confirming authenticity of this video.

Wikileaks claims to have obtained and decrypted video that shows US occupying forces in an Apache helicopter intentionally firing on a dozen civilians in Baghdad, including journalists working for the Reuters news organization: 22-year-old Reuters photographer, Namir Noor-Eldeen, and his driver, Saeed Chmagh, 40...

The transcript (and audio) seem to show the air crew lying about encountering a firefight. When they finish shooting, they laugh at the dead."

US military admits role in killing of Afghan women - Boing Boing:

"The US-led military command in Kabul admitted, after an earlier denial, that American forces killed three Afghan female civilians in February, and tried to cover up their deaths. There are reports that "Special Operations forces dug bullets out of the bodies of the women to hide the true nature of their deaths," and "that an Afghan-led team of investigators had found signs of evidence tampering at the scene, including the removal of bullets from walls near where the women were killed." One was a pregnant mother of 10 and another was a pregnant mother of six."
