Wheeew. At least there weren't bared breasts in sight. That would have been EVIL

If you follow these things like I do, you've seen this video. It got passed around the Internet like car keys at a swinger party some time back. The video depicted a "surgical removal" (e.g., killing) of insurgents in a big truck, meeting a smaller truck at night. They may or may not have had weapons- it's hard to tell.

At mazimum zoom, it's kind of grainy.


Anyhow I got this notice today:

Perhaps there's a point to be made with the third clause, but I don't see it. The pilots in the video weren't hateful. They didn't shout with glee over the prospect of killing Iraqis. They just did a job. I can't see my description as being that much of a "hatemonger" either . Oh well, live and learn. It's their football and they took it home. I can acccept that. But I don't get why me and not so many oheer.

Curious about this one? View it and many others, you'll never guess where!
