Default Video from the bombed wedding.

I just saw on the news, there are an video from the bombed wedding, complete with a bride AND the Iraqi musician. The musician is shown playing a keyboard in a tent, he is later shown dead dressed in the same clothing as he wore while playing in the wedding video. The news commenter mentions that there is no weapons visible in the video but those are common in rural areas in Iraq. This is a local Swedish news program but it is only a matter of time before this video can be seen all over the world. This video do complicate things...

Default .

The worst part is that there probably were a lot of flowers at the wedding and if we didn't blow them up, I am sure the Iraqis would have happily given the flowers to the military to thank them for liberating the country.

Default this is becoming the war of the video tapes!

It is not hard to belive that American troops have been shooting weddings, they've been blowing up hospitals and mosques..... but you know, perhaps amongst the wedding party there WAS a member of Al Q - so the rest are just collateral damage and this is war after all? N'am sayin?

another link to the story

But you know to be fair, this has the possibility of being fake just like N. Berg's killing although my hunch says both are real in some way.

Default Media war.

Consider the effect of this tape I think that video cameras will become common weapons in resistance fighters arsenals.
