[Marxism] FW: Action Alert on Iraq

["Craven, Jim" <JCraven@xxxxxxxxx>]

This is indeed a horrible, even pornographic video, which I watched
yesterday.  The military is basing its defense on a 4-5 foot pipe which
can be clearly seen as one of the men hand's it off to another in
another vehicle (tractor by memory), stating that it could well have
been a piece of a rocket launcher (homemade?).  There is nothing to
suggest violence or intended violence in the mens' actions on the
ground.  Stan, could you comment on this defense?  Thanks, A.  
        
        
        This link is to a video from inside an Apache helicopter in
Iraq.  The Apache is hovering at close range, flying no evasive
maneuvers, suggesting there is no sense of threat to the bird from the
ground.  It shows [through forward looking infared, at close range]
three vehicles that have been stopped on the road, with passengers, none
of whom are armed.  Then it shows (with audio from the chopper) the
systematic murder of all four people, with casual "Good, okay"s as each
person is annihilated.  These are war crimes.  There is also one case in
which a victim is wounded and the command is passed along (and casually
obeyed) to finish him off.
         
        This will disturb those unfamiliar with war.  But pass it along
anyway.  People must see what is being done in their names.  Also send
it to you Senators and Representatives with this explanation and demand
an investigation.  Send it to the media and challenge them not to give
the military a pass on this.  This kind of thing seldom escapes the
military censor, so it needs to be widely distributed and acted upon.
         
        Download and save the video, so there is never any chance of it
being disappeared.  Distribute widely.
