Pressure on the officials

Gates must go. Sec of Defense George Gates has exposed himself as a typical, mainstream W.-regime individual.
See http://www.collateralmurder.com Admittedly this title sounds extreme. :(
I just saw the footage. Footage of the helicopter shooting of civilians in 2007. --This is footage recently gotten out by Wikileak.com Gates within the last 2 days (April 11 and thereabouts) has said he's reviewed it and the action was according the normal rules of engagement.

What the devil ? ! ! !

The footage looks like a war movie, blood and guts. And the civilians were obviously unarmed. One with a camera. There were subtitles in the uTube thing I saw; laughter, explaination of the 8 bodies in the street and, _Hey!, "nice!."_ Laughter now and again.

Soldiers do these kinds of things -- we know that. National Secretary of Defense is being unusual however in saying nothing is wrong with it.

Gates must go.
