Anyone watch the 39 minute video? It seems there were engagement with hostile forces, small arms and RPG fire, in the local area. In this situation anyone with a weapon is going to be considered an enemy. The photojournalist were in the presence of armed individuals and it appears their camera gear was mistaken for weapons. (there are some very compact assault rifles). Why the photojournalists were there was not explained but they were not in a safe place. It's war guys. People are shooting back and forth at each other with the strongest intent to kill. (or trying to liquefy your body with an IED) Things get crazy when shooting starts. Personally I wish there were no wars but it seems to be human nature. The Iraq war was a huge mistake from the get go. The only winners were the military industry, everyone else is a looser. Enough!
