Collateral Murder
This video features Ethan McCord, a US solider who tried to save the lives of two children fired upon by gleeful US troops aboard an Apache helicopter. The video documenting the murder of unarmed Iraqi civilians was released by whistleblower Bradley Manning, just sentenced to 35 years in prison for exposing systematic war crimes committed by the US government.
“The fact that a person acted pursuant to order of his Government or of a superior does not relieve him from responsibility under international law, provided a moral choice was in fact possible to him.” – Nuremberg Principle IV
As Iraq War veteran Ethan McCord states based on first-hand experience, the crimes revealed by this video are not anomalous; they are committed every day in America’s expanding theaters of aggression.
178 Children – Brave New Films
Since the George W. Bush administration’s first use of targeted assassinations via drone strikes, aimed at Al Qaeda and associated forces, in 2002, The Bureau of Investigative Journalism (TBIJ) reports at least 178 innocent children (up to age 17) have died directly as a result of U.S. drone policy.
TBIJ’s analysis — called the “best currently available public aggregate data on drone strikes” by legal experts at Stanford and NYU who recently released the in-depth report Living Under Drones: Death, Injury and Trauma to Civilians From US Drone Practices in Pakistan[2], — finds that 176 of the 178 children killed in U.S. drones strikes were Pakistani. The two non-Pakistani children were killed in Yemen: U.S. citizen Abdulrahman al-Awlaki, 16, and his Yemeni cousin Ahmed Abdel-Rahman al-Awlaki, 17. (To read more, visit War Costs.)
