WikiLeaks: Collateral Murder (Iraq, 2007)
How were these people a threat to the US? Why in the F were we in Iraq in the first place? Oh yeah, because "supposedly" 15 of 19 9/11 hijackers were Saudi Nationals. Hold on, Saudis, WTF? How did we end up in Iraq? Oh yeah, those damn WMDs, weapons of mass destruction. Hold on, WMDs? That's right, there were no WMDs in Iraq. So, WTF? And that’s when seeds of my Awakening started to take root. But you know, "they just hate us for our freedoms...."

Video footage from a U.S. Apache helicopter in 2007 leaked by U.S. Army intelligence analyst and whistleblower Bradley Manning to Wikileaks.
The video shows Reuters journalist Namir Noor-Eldeen, driver Saeed Chmagh, and several others as the Apache shoots and kills them in a public square in Eastern Baghdad after they are apparently assumed to be insurgents. After the initial shooting, an unarmed group of adults and children in a minivan arrives on the scene and attempts to transport the wounded. They are fired upon as well. The official statement on this incident initially listed all adults as insurgents and claimed the US military did not know how the deaths ocurred.
