Salon has some nice bulletpoints on Wikileaks’ video release from a couple days ago, which you probably already know and care deeply about. A particularly salient bit:

It’s hard to express the blinding jingoistic delusion necessary to insist — in the face of this mountain of evidence and dead civilians left in the wake of our wars — that the Apache attack is some sort of rare or exceptional event. That’s why the military concluded that what happened in this Apache attack (including the shooting of unarmed rescuers) is consistent with U.S. military policy: because it is.

Quite.
