Today is April 15, the day we pay for our wars. In Baghdad, everyday is payday.
A unit called wikileaks recently released a video of a helicopter crew lighting up some people. Reactions range from how horrible, they deserved it, what do you expect of war, and unprintable (or unbloggable) others. Perhaps the choicest was in the video itself, something to the effect of What do you expect when you bring kids into a battle. ( on either side of the weapon)
Recently, Stephen Colbert hosted the big dog at wikileaks for a friendly chit chat. ( An interesting feature of the modern media is comedians making the most serious comments.) Mr. Colbert says that the wikidude is making a comment by calling the video “Collateral Murder”. It is noted that “90%” of people will not bother to watch the video. Julian Assange (spell check suggestions, assailant) , the Australian wikimaster, holds his own nicely, and even gets Mr. Colbert in deer in headlights land a couple of times.
