Man, I hope the Rules of Engagement were well established before this incident. Otherwise, the Apache crew might face serious ramifications as a result of the violation of the Geneva Convention. To whit:

(1) Persons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.

To this end the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:

(a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture;

(b) taking of hostages;

(c) outrages upon personal dignity, in particular humiliating and degrading treatment;

(d) the passing of sentences and the carrying out of executions without previous judgment pronounced by a regularly constituted court, affording all the judicial guarantees which are recognized as indispensable by civilized peoples.

(2) The wounded and sick shall be collected and cared for.

The third individual was definitely wounded and incapacitated. Now all bets are off if the individual in question was classified as a terrorist or insurgent.

They were rigging a roadside bomb. Thats all the engagement our guys needed.

[IncPen]

You can't possibly be serious.

Where is the full story on this? I see what appears to be a tractor with a trailer , a pickup truck, and a truck with a flat bed. there are 4 people there. No secondary explosions. This will make a great propaganda piece for Al Jeezera showing how we just like to kill arabs. At first it looked like a hot 122m mortar tube on the left but at close scrutiny it appears also to look like a tractor exhaust. We need the whole story here not just the video.

Have you seen that one video of a group of soldiers shooting a wounded combatant and cheering over it? The liberals like to harp on that one a lot.
