Military Attempts Confiscation Of Video's From Afghanistan?

   Here's one that I missed from yesterday.

   We all know about the civilians in Afghanistan who were killed by US forces that were shooting at a suicide bomber who was acting alone.

   It is reported by witnesses that the US troops panicked and just started firing at whatever happened to be moving after the car bomb exploded.

   It is being said that the forces from the United States have tried to confiscate the video of the incident and also have tried to destroy the pictures that were taken after the shootings occurred.    Source

One ( witness )  told Al Jazeera: "There were no gunmen, this is a complete lie. This is a peaceful area, we don't have guns."

The dead included an 80-year-old man, whose grandson said: "A bomb exploded, my grandfather sat in a car and at that time American soldiers were shooting into my grandfather's car."

   If this turns out to be true, then I know of a few of the US military who should be tried in court for this kind of mis-hap. May want to add the top brass who ordered the confiscation of the vid's and the pictures.

  It would probably help if these troops were better trained before they are sent off to fight in a foreign land because if this continues to happen it will not be just the terrorist who they will have to worry about, it will also be the residents in these countries.
