37. So the guy pulling the kids out of the van was taking hostile fire at the same time?

That certainly wasn't made clear in the Wikileaks video.

ETA: A couple of other things Ethan says:

"However, when I did come up on the scene, there was an RPG as well as AK-47s there…. You just don’t walk around with an RPG in Iraq, especially three blocks away from a firefight."

Wow, exactly what I said.

"There were plenty of times in the past where other insurgents would come by and pick up the bodies, and then we’d have no evidence or anything to what happened, so in looking at it from the Apache’s point of view, they were thinking that picking up the weapons and bodies..."

Wow, exactly what I said.
