10. "the Web site does not slow down the video..." I don't recall them slowing down any portion

of the video. Perhaps they did, but I don't remember it. I remember arrows popping up realtime indicating the journalists.

No, wait, I think I remember them going back and showing some shots slowed down. OK.

Regardless, the video is not heavily edited by any reasonable standard. Yes, Wikileaks had a specific point of view when putting the smaller video together. But Fox News condemning them on that basis is pretty lame.

ETA: And how about grabbing that quote from the Army spokesperson and twisting it a bit? I do think the raw video itself only shows a limited picture of the battlefield, but that's not the doing of Wikileaks. I agree with the point the spokesperson made, but not how Fox used it.
