Anti-Military propaganda. What credibility Wikileaks might have had is gone now. Their release was couched as Anti-Military..."“Collateral Murder” . People parsing the videos in slow motion and frame by frame...a luxury the Apache crews engaged in supporting US forces in direct contact meters away didn't have, can find little wrong with the actions as the group obviously has weapons including RPGs. Even Wikileaks, coming under strong criticism, is down to claiming the attack on the van was against ROE. A van that wasn't marked and the Apache crews had no way of knowing what it was doing. It's reminiscent of the Vietnam War where the American media tried to hang Air Force and Navy pilots engaged in combat over North Vietnam for supposedly breaking the idiotic ROEs that came down from Johnson-McNamara....rules like only being able to fire at SAM batteries that fired at them..not being able to suppress them before hand. Or not being able to go after supply convoys hauling the SAMs in open view. Or being able to hit rice paddy dikes because of supposed bad
PR
...and the NVA learning of this siting all their anti-aircraft weapons up on dikes. Any 'bad
PR
' for the military in this release is the intent and fault of Wikileaks.
