He did him a favor. Everyone knows cell phones give you cancer.
Used to it enough to calmly walk around in plain view of them, brandishing their "weapons?"Quote:

Yeah, but if you look at how the guy with it acts, there's absolutely nothing threatening about it. Even after the Apaches fire the first round, they never wondered why no one fired back, or why the only "reinforcements" to arrive only tried to help the wounded?Quote:
3. Cell phones are commonly used to detonate explosives, the guy on the corner could have been spotting the Humvee patrol down the road for the guy on the phone.
When they use their phones to detonate bombs, they shake their fists and and curse America.
Why is Rich linking what appear to be pages from an internal Army investigation, when it has already been shown that the details of this were covered up by the Army?
The reports do make mention that neither of the reporters were wearing press gear to identify them as neutral reporters while they were operating in a hot zone. So... yeah... wear your vests if you're going to shoot pieces? I think that's a valid point for the US military. That said they still opened up on a van that posed no threat to them or anybody.
The report could easily be lying anyway, considering all they did was lie about the incident and fight off FOIA requests.
No it couldn't. We have video of them not wearing vests right before the incident.
You're retarded. I don't know what 'vest' you're so obsessed with, but shit like that tends to be co-opted by the enemy in a war zone anyway.
Theres no proof either way in the video as to them having or not having identification as press, or if Reuters let the U.S. Army know they were in the area. My only point is that you shouldn't take a report like that at face value when the military has been covering up incidents like this since the war began
