I know the WIki leaks video is out there, one click away. I just can't bring myself to look.

1. I found it very helpful to watch it. While it was harrowing, it also made it very clear to me how
mistakes are made in stressful combat situations -- how people see what they want to see and/or are trained to see. I frankly have trouble making a blanket condemnation of everyone involved, because it could be seen as ambiguous.

2. Me too. In fairness, I can't watch any war movies at all though
They are simply too distressing for me. The last movie I tried to watch was Platoon in the theatre. I walked out in the middle when Elias (William Defoe) is getting run down by the VA. That's the last war movie/battle scene I've ever watched.
