Where exactly do the soldiers say that they are only firing on the cameramen?
I never said they were only firing upon the journalists. But they were clearly one of the targeted.
As for the wider issue you talk about, they were part of the legitimate armed forces of a state, fighting against terrorists, together with the government of that sovereign state.
The terrorists that attacked us on 9/11 were almost exclusively from Saudi Arabia. Many of the people we ended up fighting in Iraq were insurgents who sought to expel an invading force. Al Qaeda was not a real active force in Iraq until after we invaded.
Your bias is too strong for you to recognize facts.
I have a bias against war, aye. And what facts am I missing? I acknowledge there were other men who were armed in the area. I also acknowledge the soldiers falsely identified the journalists as insurgents.
