Wikileaks reveals video showing U.S. air crew shooting down Iraqi civilians

Col­lat­eral Murder, another U.S. mas­sacre, this time caught on tape. When you watch the video bare in mind the U.S. mil­it­ary claimed the vic­tims died in a battle that took place between U.S. forces and insurgents:

There is no ques­tion that coali­tion forces were clearly engaged in com­bat oper­a­tions against a hos­tile force”

—Lieutenant-Colonel Scott Bleichwehl,

spokes­man for U.S. forces in Bagh­dad. (New York Times)

The real­ity is a bunch of cow­ard red­necks fly­ing around in heli­copters com­mit­ting murder from high above.

When the Nurem­berg Tribunal described a war of aggres­sion as the supreme war crime, because it “con­tains within itself the accu­mu­lated evil of the whole,” this is the kind of thing they were talk­ing about. These trig­ger happy red­necks fly­ing around in heli­copters just shouldn’t be in Iraq in the first place.

And this red­neck nation won­ders why people want to fly planes into their buildings.

Paypal threatens democracy

No Right Turn on the risk to demo­cracy that Paypal presents:

Paypal has blocked dona­tions to the Arrest Blair cam­paign, sup­posedly on the basis that it “encour­ages illegal activ­ity” (con­duct­ing a law­ful cit­izens arrest of a rich and power­ful fig­ure appar­ently being illegal in the eyes of PayPal). It’s a blatantly polit­ical move — and its not the first time they’ve done it. Last week, they froze the assets of Wikileaks — a site which encour­ages and pub­lishes anonym­ous leaks in the pub­lic interest, and is cred­ited with “produc[ing] more scoops in its short life than the Wash­ing­ton Post has in the past 30 years”.
