Reuters has been attempting to obtain the video under Freedom of Information Act requests since the incident occurred in July, 2007, but the Pentagon blocked all requests.
Wikileaks director Julian Assange said Wikileaks had to break military encryption on the file to view it, and will not reveal how or from whom the file was obtained. The transcript (and audio) seem to show the air crew lying about encountering a firefight. When they finish shooting, they laugh at the dead.
Wikileaks obviously won’t be revealing how they got the video, but thank God they did. How many others are locked away? Keeping these secrets under wraps only serves to protect the pyschos doing the killings under the guise of the ‘US military’, and their commanders and the politicians sending them.
The families of the innocents also don’t get to hear the true story about what happened, or receive any financial aid or help to bring up their families who longer have a father. Children were also targetted in this US military led bloodbath.

Maybe we should tell them Blair is not a money grabbing bastard and that he’s anti-capitalism and will be protesting at the next G20 march. We know normally the MET are itching to get stuck in there and hit innocent men and women. And when they’re caught in broad daylight hitting an unarmed women in front of hoardes of the media, they get off scot free. (See : Sergeant Smellie)

What an absolute disgrace our ‘justice’ system is.

To me this is clear, the orders come straight from Number 10. To ignore the Law. Of course it will be done behind the cloak of ‘National Security’ , ex-pm’s rights etc. Some such lies and bullshit
Add to that Blair is being protected round the clock by the Police (at the taxpayer’s expense)
Clearly a conflict of interest. What would the arresting officer’s do? face down his protection Police, both armed, have a standoff.
This will all be irrelevant in 4 years time when a new dynasty in UK Politics comes to fruition. time for the monopoly to end. Time for a true democracy and people power in the UK for the first time in history. Change is a coming. my uk

Dear Metropolitan Police Service (MPS),

I would like to know, so that it is on public record, how many
requests the Metroplitan Police have received since 2003 to arrest
the known criminal Tony Blair.(Ex Prime Minister of the UK)
I could post links to every major news publication in the world for
proof but I doubt that’s necessary.
What I would like to know, and the public at large I believe, is
how many individual requests the Metropolitan Police have received
to have Tony Blair arrested and charged with any crime. Most likely
it will be for the same crimes, treason, crimes against humanity,
lying to parliament and the British Public, and ordering genocide
against the Iraqi people. Along with partnering with the U.S in
extraordinary rendition, torture and sending British servicemen and
women to their deaths in an ILLEGAL war.
Now proven to be indisputable FACTS by the World at large.
So to recap how many requests have the Met received from the
public?
The number of times you have refused to act and ignored the laws of
this country will be directly proportional to the number of
requests you have received, just to make it easier for you.
The last time I looked he was earning millions monthly, coming and
going as he pleases into our fair land. And very much alive, free
and in rude health.
It’s important this information is in the public domain, so that
action can be taken in the future against Police Chiefs who are
clearly ordering their ’staff’ (police officers) not to act on
this. If it is the Police Management who is not ordering this lack
of action, then it clearly must be Politicians, Parliament, MI5?
This is a public request for all information on this subject also,
all internal memos and any other salient information that is
resulting in non-action.
All Police Authorities in the UK are currently guilty of this,
however I think important the MET is honest about this information
first, as London is where Tony Blair was based and worked for so
many years, and as you are the biggest Police Authority in the UK,
one would assume you have had the most requests/complaints to
arrest him.
May I remind you under the Freedom of Information Act you must
supply this information in a short time frame, or supply an
extremely good reason why not, and then be held accountable should
you fail.
Thanking you in advance.

Yours faithfully,
Freedom of Information Request

The former prime minister has been in the pay of the Kuwaiti government and a South Korean oil firm for up to 18 months, a parliamentary watchdog has revealed.

But the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments allowed Mr Blair to keep his contracts secret because of “market sensitivities” and because the Kuwaitis requested confidentiality.

The Kuwaitis alone paid Blair $1.5 million for his ‘advisory role’ . Blair was at great paind to cover this up and manage to hoodwink the fools in the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments. That was until finally after pressure they were discovered for their negligence.

In an unprecedented move, he persuaded the committee which vets the jobs of former ministers to keep details of both deals from the public for 20 months, claiming it was commercially sensitive. The deals emerged yesterday when the Advisory Committee on Business Appointments finally lost patience with Mr Blair and decided to ignore his objections and publish the details.

News of the secret deals fuelled fresh accusations that Mr Blair is ‘cashing in on his contacts’ from the controversial Iraq war in what one MP called ‘revolving door politics at its worst’.

In a further revelation, a classified memo from Mr Blair to President Bush showed the full extent of his support for the toppling of Saddam Hussein.

The personal note — which has been seen by the Chilcot Inquiry but not released by the Government — shows that Mr Blair wrote: “You know, George, whatever you decide to do, I’m with you.”

The contents of the memo, which is buried in Andrew Rawnsley’s book The End Of The Party, confirm the exact words Mr Blair used to offer his strong backing for Bush in July 2002, eight months before the invasion.

The Chilcot committee was barred from quizzing Mr Blair publicly about the private notes to the US president when he gave evidence in January. Downing Street has refused permission to release the secret documents.

Rawnsley’s book shows that Sir Christopher Meyer, Britain’s ambassador to the US, reacted with astonishment when he saw the note.

He phoned Mr Blair’s foreign policy adviser Sir David Manning, saying: “Why in God’s name has he said that again?”

Sir David replied: “We tried to stop him… but he wouldn’t listen.”

Anyway, what happened to the humour, I hear you ask?

Two fantastic sites I came across are detailed below. They had me roaring with laughter. It’s what we do best in England , always have. Humour, the blacker the better. And to laugh in the face of adversity, however nuts the truth appears. Enjoy:

(congrats to the webmaster, outstanding stuff)

Not surprising when you have a hand in a million deaths. Guilt is playing catch up. But again, he has shown NO regret for what has happened. No responsibility. No admittance of guilt. He just wants to stop attending inquiries, and be left alone to enjoy his money from his time at Downing street, and for selling crap books about his time with Blair, ‘the Blair Diaries’. I ask you.

The clocks ticking Campbell. This country has woken up, and the people will take action. Up until now the authorities and the Police are complicit in these crimes as they are taking no action. They are ignoring international law. The Labour Government is fixing things for their own ends.

Don’t forget, just because these individuals are white, middle class, wear suits and don’t physically have blood on their hands……. it doesn’t mean they can get away with genocide, mass murder.

There is no difference in the end result of a million dead people, and millions of peoples lives in tatters. No difference, between them and war criminals from different regions, or eras.

Andrew Marr is a very fair interviewer in all honesty. He isn’t a rottweiler like Paxman, in the good old days. He  did a reasonable job though with his line of enquiry. However individuals like Blair and Campbell and the whole Cabinet from 2002 need Public grillings in UK Legal courts and the International Criminal Courts. They need the most vigorous Lawyers and passioante witnesses to put them under the greatest pressure, so they man up to their failings and shortcomings, and admit to their guilt. Only then can this country try to move on and salvage some International credibility back. Along with ceasing to destroy entire regions, and killing people in their millions.

Apologies for the late update to the site on this. Of course, Campbell’s appearance was designed to smooth the way for Blair when he attended recently.

Campbell, as predicted continued his web of deceit and backed Blair to the hilt, and himself of course, as although he wasn’t a politician in the true sense, he had access to all areas of Government. He was the one called upon to spin the information.

Blair’s official spokesman defiantly, and unbelievably, stated at the inquiry:

————————————————————————————————-

I “defend every single word” of the 2002 dossier on Iraq’s weapons of mass destruction.

Parts of the dossier could have been “clearer” but it did not “misrepresent” Iraq’s threat.

The UK should be “proud” of its role “in changing Iraq from what it was to what it is now becoming”

————————————————————————————————-

He also said that Mr Blair told President Bush privately in 2002 “the UK would back military action if necessary.”

Without any approval from Parliament, Blair felt he had the right to sign away the British Army as if it were his own Private army. Our men and women’s lives, and the lives of approximately a million Iraqi lives!

All to feather his own nest, for grace and favours and to massage his over inflated ego.

It is almost becoming a daily routine in Britain these days to see Political statements and activities that you couldn’t make up. No-one would believe you.

After 7 years, and more coming, of abject disaster, and countless lost lives and destroyed lives, along with our reputation as a country in tatters, Campbell added:

————————————————————————————————-

I was privileged to be there and I’m very very proud of the part that I was able to play.”

He added: “I think that Britain, far from beating ourselves up about this, should be really proud of the role that we played in changing Iraq from what it was to what it is now becoming.”

————————————————————————————————-

Campbell also revealed that  Blair had written to President Bush during 2002  saying: “If that cannot be done diplomatically and it is to be done militarily, Britain will be there. That would be the tenor of the communication to the president.”

The Lib Dems, who opposed the invasion, have called for the letters to be published, saying Mr Campbell’s evidence cast further doubt on the legality of the war.

Former Conservative Foreign Secretary Sir Malcolm Rifkind, who opposed the invasion, said the letters would show the extent to which Tony Blair and George Bush were “hand in glove” over the issue and should be available to the public.

Campbell did admit a few important failings though:

————————————————————————————————-

Campbell said he was “never in doubt” that Iraq would be found to have weapons of mass destruction and the realisation that they did not was “very difficult”.

On the invasion’s aftermath, he said it became clear within a week that things were not going well and there was a lack of “grip”. </blockquote>

Campbells’ testimony rolled on for a full 5 hours, and the sitting had to be extended.

Campbell’s life as an alcoholic in the past and suffering a complete  mental breakdown are well documented, so we won’t dwell on them. But when you look at the personality traits and failings of Campbell and Blair, it’s hard not be surprised how they were so easily  corrupted into egomaniac’s and megalomaniac’s.

It’s very telling that Campbell admits Blair supported him and helped him through his depression. It’s very clear Campbell would do anything for Blair.

A very telling quote was when  he said that the lowest point was during the “nightmare” of the Hutton inquiry into the reasons why Britain went to war in Iraq. The worst day, he said, “was when Dr David Kelly, the government adviser, committed suicide.”

He added:

————————————————————————————————-

“I did feel if the inquiry had gone against us that it would have been really bad. If it had gone against us, it was not just me who was out of a job, it was Tony.”

————————————————————————————————-

Again, you cannot make this stuff up. Only concerned for their jobs!

I would like to think Campbell won’t be out of reach of justice when Blair’s Judgement day comes.

In the meantime, several brave people have attempted citizen arrrests. Peacefully, and fully within their right under the law. Predictably the police in one case arrested a lone unarmed woman for trying to exercise her legal right. We can only hope the officers responsible are disciplined and the pressure will continue to rise. The very least we can hope in the short term is Blair is sweating every time he makes a public appearance. There’s enough countries who subscibe to the Geneva Convention, even if the Bristish authorities are choosing to currently ignore World Law.

It was David Cronin, a reporter for the Inter Press Service news agency and The Guardian, placed his hand on Mr Blair’s arm and said: “This is a citizens’ arrest. You are guilty of war crimes.” This was the first public attempt, there have been a number of attempts since.

Mr Blair, speaking to MEPs about his role as EU and US envoy to the Middle East, momentarily flinched at the contact but was saved by a bodyguard who intervened to push the Irish journalist away.
Mr Cronin, who has written for the Guardian, said: ‘It was an attempt to draw attention to Mr Blair’s crimes in Iraq and Afghanistan.’

He left the room of his own accord after the incident, although when he returned half an hour later he was refused entry by security.

‘My motivation in trying to arrest Blair is entirely based on my contempt for the crimes he has committed and abetted in Iraq, Afghanistan, Palestine, Lebanon and Serbia,’ Cronin told EUobserver.com.

the right decision, made for the right reasons

This video is particluarly good, and succinct. Bringing home the insanity of Brown’s statements.

Also bringing home the reality of actions of voting and sanctioning this wholesale murder that we have brought about. And bankrolling the sort of weapons that we have used, including depleted uranium and weapons of mass destruction ourselves. The irony is sickening.
Blair, Brown and everyone responsible for this crime must be held accountable. It will be a start to remove the stain from our country. The hideous actions that have taken place cannot be removed, and the effects of depleted uranium carry on for generations. But it will be a sign to the world that we will never make this sort of horrendous ‘mistake’ in the future and will put safeguards in our system to try to prevent, at the same time pursuing those responsible for the causes of this. Until they are tried and charged we cannot move forward in any way. Nothing short of a social revolution can change this.

13 years at the very heart of Government, Brown is up to his neck in shit, the same as Blair.

Of course Brown’s attendance was stage managed and carefully planned. He strode through the front entrance to the Inquiry, confident. Whereas Blair had sneaked in the back entrance like a coward. Of course Blair will hide behind the fact ‘the police advised him for security reasons’ etc. to do this.
Brown even smiled at the audience inside. Some people’s arrogance is stunning. This man didn’t just write the cheques for the war. This is all the mainstream media are reporting on. Did he give enough money for ‘our boys’? etc.
Don’t get me wrong I have every sympathy for our brave boys and girls who really do the most extraordinary things when asked upon by their nation, even risk their lives in illegal wars, and they must have adequate protection and support.
It turns out Brown has been lying about his full financial support for the armed forces anyway and will recalled to the inquiry, but that’s another story.
To reiterate it is extremely serious if the Government didn’t supply enough money for the armed forces on the ground, although we have to consider the powers that be within the army may have spent the money unwisely, targetted the wrong areas, anything. This needs to be examined under a microscope to protect our troops in the future.
The main bone of contention is how this man (Gordon Brown) and the others surrounding him in the cabinet pushed for this war in the first place and allowed it, and how he is in charge now, still pushing the war.
What I want to focus on is a few main points.
How can one of the most senior politicians in the land at the time and the longest standing friend and foe of the then Prime Minster Tony Blair not have the upmost knowledge of what was going on? Of course he knew more than almost everyone else at the time, yet there is no pressure on him from the people that should be exerting pressure. He’s still advocating what was started in Iraq for God’s sake.

Brown was asked at the beginning of the session, inquiry chairman Sir John Chilcot asked Mr Brown if he thought the decision to take military action in Iraq was right.

“I think that this is the gravest decision of all, to make a decision to go to war.

“I believe we made the right decision for the right reasons, because the international community had for years asked Saddam Hussein to abide by international law and the international obligations that he’d accepted.

Unbelievably Brown is still defending the decision to go to war and saying we got it right! This stuff defies belief. Will they wake up when they are being escorted to their cells at The Hague? Even then you have to see their arrogance will blind them to that facty, even then.

To cover Brown’s lies about funding though. brown told Sir John Chilcot’s inquiry that the budget for British troops had “risen above the rate of inflation every year for the last decade.” Mr Brown later repeated the claim in the Commons.
However 2 days later on 17th March 2010 in the House of Commons, Brown conceded that the claim was not accurate and that he would be writing to the inquiry to correct the statement. “I do accept that, in one or two years, defence expenditure did not rise in real terms,” he said.

Mr Brown blamed “operational fluctuations” for the individual falls in real-terms spending.

Mr Brown had fiercely defended the claim at last week’s PMQs.

“I said to the inquiry very clearly first of all that the expenditure of the Ministry of Defence has been rising in real terms,” he told David Cameron. “The defence budget… is rising every year.”

Liam Fox, the shadow Defence Secretary, said :

Mr Brown’s admission represented “a humiliating climbdown” from a week ago. “His attempt to rewrite history has failed and his fantasy figures have been exposed,” he said.
