Old news, this actually happened 3 years ago but what actually happened was never clarified, it was simply stated that several armed insurgents opened fire on the Apache with "RPGs and AK-47s", the Apache thereby retaliated. Reuters photographers were reported to have been killed in the conflict. Recently, the apachecam video was leaked after being demanded by the company (Reuters) when looking to investigate the death of it's photographers.
It's not graphic since the cam is pretty low res at that distance, but it's still depressing, so be warned:

It's not so much the fact that they attacked the civilians (who they presumed to be armed insurgents, an intel mistake.), but the comments and behavior in which they did so. They also attack a civilian van that merely stopped to help the injured.
What do you guys think?
