I was just sent a link telling me about this ... it's truly quite frightening.

I think the first few seconds are disgusting. If that is in unaltered form, I want to vomit. Killing a wounded man and then cheering? What kind of crap do they have to do to you in training to get you to be that bloodthirsty?

As for the rest, I'd say they lose any sympathy from me when they take credit for the 9/11 attacks.

Please remember that they've had every chance to edit the footage and the interview with the soldier together from separate stories. The soldier probably wasn't even talking about what they showed.

It's obviously edited - there's a pretty massive jump cut in the middle of that interview.

I wasn't talking about the interview, since I could tell he wasn't even talking about the first scene.

I meant the shooting of the obviously injured iraqi, and the direct panning to the smiling soldier with the M-16. The cheering could have been added, but I doubt it was necessary.
