Thats bull****. Instead of telling US forces about the impending danger, the reporters sit there and film it.

Yup, welcome to the wonderful world of the media :roll:

If they reported it, then the army would have put a stop to it and they would have such great footage of people being killed. :roll:

Lets face it, we live in a world where profit margins come first, and human lives come dead last. (no pun intended) :|

You just don't get it guys, this video was not made by journo's.

The terrs/insurgents shot the video themselves and handed the video to
a French news bureau (could as well have been CNN, BBC, AP, FOX, ******* or otherwise).
This is a modus operandi that is commonly used in order for
the terrs/insurgents to show their financial backers that they are able deliver what they are paid for.

By the way this video is avilable in a streaming version on *******.com

Of course this opens up for a new discussion, are the medias inadvertently supporting the course of the terrs/insurgents by showing the video?
Personally I don't think so, with the internet anything is around for everyone's viewing as soon as it is uploaded.

I thought that would be obvious that it wasnt made by journalists.
