Incrível como o que elas dizem tem muito a ver com o que vemos no vídeo, ao contrário do relatório inicial do exército.
Segundo as testemunhas oculares as pessoas estavam desarmadas (muito sinceramente já vi o vídeo de 39 minutos duas vezes foras as não sei quantas vezes que vi certas cenas, e também não sou capaz de discernir armas, mas sou perfeitamente capaz de discernir câmaras).
Se leram os documentos oficiais que foram tornados públicos pelo exército verão também que um dos motivos que o soldado dá para disparar sobre a carrinha é que as pessoas que saíram da carrinha estavam a apanhar os "insurgentes" e a apanhar armas. Sim estavam a apanhar armas! E isso é claramente mentira. Com todas as outras mentiras que se contam sobre este caso gostaria de saber se as armas que foram encontradas na cena não foram plantadas.
O que as testemunhas têm a dizer:
WITNESS 1: [translated] The helicopter came yesterday from there and hovered around. Then it came right here where a group of people were standing. They didn’t have any weapons or arms of any sort. This area doesn’t have armed insurgents. They destroyed the place and shot at people, and they didn’t let anyone help the wounded.
WITNESS 2: [translated] I swear to God it was helicopters that attacked us. These people are all witnesses. They attacked us twice, not once.
WITNESS 3: [translated] The driver went to carry the injured, who had been shot in front of his eyes. While he was going to pick them up, the pilot of the helicopter kept flying above, watching the scene. They started firing at the wounded and the dead. The driver and the two children were also there. The helicopter continued shooting until none of the bodies were moving.
WITNESS 2: [translated] The group of civilians had gathered here because people need cooking oil and gas. They wanted to demonstrate in front of the media and show that they need things like oil, gas, water and electricity. The situation here is dramatically deteriorating. The journalists were walking around, and then the Americans started shooting. They started shooting randomly and targeted peaceful civilians from the neighborhood.
WITNESS 3: [translated] There were children in the car. Were they carrying weapons? There were two children.
WITNESS 2: [translated] Do we help the wounded or kill them? They killed all the wounded and drove over their bodies. Everyone witnessed it. And the journalist was among those who was injured, and the armored vehicle drove over his body.
WITNESS 3: [translated] The US forces, who call themselves “friendly” forces, were telling us on speakers that they were here to protect and help us. We heard those words very clearly. But what we saw was the opposite of that. We demand the American Congress and President Bush supervise their soldiers’ actions in Iraq.
