1) Here's the difference it makes. This is my serious Festivus Greivance against Julian Assange, and everyone who forgets that Julian Assange existed before the election.
2) collateralmurder.wikileaks.org "WikiLeaks has released a classified US military video depicting the indiscriminate slaying of over a dozen people in the Iraqi suburb of New Baghdad -- including two Reuters news staff"
3) "The video, shot from an Apache helicopter gun-sight, clearly shows the unprovoked slaying of a wounded Reuters employee and his rescuers. Two young children involved in the rescue were also seriously wounded."
4) "Indiscriminate" "unprovoked"
5) dandelionsalad.wordpress.com/2010/04/13/the… Here's the smarmy little shit doing a promotion tour for the video release. He's going on a Comedy Central to promote the publishing of this video
6) See, the military investigated this incident, and there's a few KEY DETAILS LEFT OUT. You know, shit that makes it less 'indiscriminate' and 'unprovoked'
8) The reporters were standing near several others with weapons. Amongst them, their cameras and tripods weren't differentiated from the weapons.
9) edition.cnn.com/2010/WORLD/mea…
The helicopters the video was shot from were called in because the us infantry nearby had been in a FOUR HOUR FIREFIGHT. They were called into an active combat zone, and still asked for permission multiple times before firing.

10) The vehicle that had the kids inside? Was shot at and scared off earlier, and then came back.
11) The Reuters journalists that were killed? Wore nothing to distinguish themselves from the insurgents that they were standing with, who WERE armed with AKs
12) "Indiscriminate" "Unprovoked"
13) Fuck him. Julian Assange is a self-aggrandizing asshole who hated the US until he got trapped in an industry after fucking up royal and trying to blackmail the United States with unredacted diplomatic cables and other intelligence documents.
14) I hope Trump has him over a barrel with whatever deal he cuts. Merry Christmas to everyone. I'm going to watch Star Wars now. /end
