A couple of things to consider relating to this video:
------------------------------------------------
Geneva Convention

Art. 41. Safeguard of an enemy hors de combat

1. A person who is recognized or who, in the circumstances should be recognized to be hors de combat shall not be made the object of attack.

2. A person is hors de combat if: (a) he is in the power of an adverse Party; (b) he clearly expresses an intention to surrender; or (c) he has been rendered unconscious or is otherwise incapacitated by wounds or sickness, and therefore is incapable of defending himself; provided that in any of these cases he abstains from any hostile act and does not attempt to escape.

------------------------------------------------

Art. 35. Transports of wounded and sick or of medical equipment shall be respected and protected in the same way as mobile medical units.

------------------------------------------------

I wonder what the next leaked video from Afghanistan is going to contain. From what I've read, there is something like ~37 civilian deaths which was taped.


Thanks, very informative.

This was my first SLR. It wasn't too good at taking photographs but it sure was fun to take out on a shoot. Mind due if I took it out on a street in Iraq, I'm sure it would bring unwanted attention of the helicopter gunships too.

Mob mentality at its worst level.
