Leaked Video Killings?

I watched the video of the killing of two Journalists and about a dozen others in a helicopter attack in 2007. Was the military justified in opening fire? If I had not known beforehand, it would have appeared to me that these men were carrying (what looked like) assault rifles, and rocket propelled grenade launchers. Ground troops had come under fire nearby and seeing what these pilots saw, I believe that any soldier in that position would have did the same. It wasn't until after that those "weapons" turned out to be cameras and filming equipment.

What is your take on the situation?

    I believe that it was an unfortunate misunderstanding. It's sad that a decision like that even has to made, but it is necessary.

    It's called bringing democracy to the Iraqis. This is what happens when criminals are allowed to use the media to lie to the public and invent claims about imaginary weapons of mass destruction.
