The Washington Post says the U.S. military is probing a video that surfaced on the internet and purports to show indiscriminate weapons fire by private contractors directed at Iraqi civilians. MORE HERE. Of course, the context the MSM doesn't report on is that these vehicles have enormous signs on them warning other vehicles to stay back or they will be fired on. Still, the video does not look good and I applaud the military for looking into the matter.
Thank a soldier week starts on Dec. 19th. Get busy by going here and supporting our troops.
12 Days of Christmas presented by Cranky Neocon. Send this to your liberal buddies. Tons of great gift ideas for them.
UPDATE I: We've posted on this before, but it sooo cool. A guy, a blog, and his quest for a personal Navy. It's also a good cause. Phin has more here as does Confederate Yankee.
UPDATE II: Cop gets caught stealing evidence. Evidence just happens to be the victim's skull. Hilarity ensues.
UPDATE III: Pat Oliphant, asshat.
UPDATE IV: Krauthammer and Astute Blogger--both brilliant.

Kind of hard to spot insurgent from civilians when they do not wear a uniform, it is even worse when they ambush contractors (like the person reportedly executed yesterday) in civilian or police clothing.
When they convict someone of indiscriminate murder of Iraqi citizens I'll pay attention, rather than jump every time a media shitbird sqawks.

All I can tell at this point is someone videotaped some drive-by shootings - I have absolutely no idea who was doing the shooting or even if it is random. The sound quality has clearly deliberately been distorted to prevent ID.
It showed up on the Internet and on a server of a British Security Co.
Keep in mind this is all orignating from Britain - and some real lulu hoaxes and con jobs have come out of there in the past several years.

Don't accept the video at face value yet - let alone attempt some lateral rationalization. That's the reaction the left wants - don't give it to them - wait.

Rusty,
I saw the video and it's fucked up beyond words. This is obviously a case of sick yahoos on a shooting spree.
So who gives a crap about any "sign" on the vehicle. And how exactly do you know it has any sign?
