7. Why would they think they were dealing with insurgents? There was no reason to believe that

and they lied on the tape by claiming the people in it were picking up weapons, they made that part up to get permission to fire.

Again, "none of us know what they were thinking" is a bullshit cop out and can be used to justify anything, including the war itself. The facts are what we saw in the tape. And what the tape showed was a van that pulled up many minutes after the shooting on a public road to help the wounded. The people in that chopper were in a huge rush to open fire, begging to get the order and lying to do so.
