*A major military cover-up had been silenced … until now. Back in 2007, two Reuters journalists lost their lives due to a gargantuan-size American military flub up. But the military said they were right under their “Rules of Engagement,” according to WikiLeaks. The video has been authenticated by the U.S. Military as well.
The site, WikiLeaks, had been trying to get the video under the Freedom of Information Act, but to no avail they could not. But, now, with the assistance of a “whistle blower” they have it and somehow decoded the encryption to get in and make it obvious to the world that indeed the military was NOT correct to open fire on civilians.

Obama agencies invoking secrecy provision more often than under Bush
“The site, WikiLeaks, had been trying to get the video under the Freedom of Information Act, but to no avail they could not. “
One day after being sworn into office, President Barack Obama instructed federal agencies to ensure government transparency by complying with the spirit of the Freedom of Information Act law. “All agencies should adopt a presumption in favor of disclosure, in order to renew their commitment to the principles embodied in FOIA, and to usher in a new era of open Government,”
One year later, Obama’s requests for transparency have apparently gone unheeded. In fact a provision in the Freedom of Information Act law that allows the government to hide records that detail its internal decision-making has been invoked by Obama agencies more often in the past year than during the final year of President George W. Bush.
But is this another example of change we cannot believe in, or more evidence that Obama isn’t really running anything. Just as in the case of his no black agenda, which we now know is dictated by Axelrod, it seems that Obama’s federal agencies doesn’t have any respect for he or his AG’s will (BTW, both black men).
Among the most frequently used exemptions: one that lets the government hide records that detail its internal decision-making. Obama specifically directed agencies to stop using that exemption so frequently, but that directive appears to have been widely ignored.
Major agencies cited that exemption at least 70,779 times during the 2009 budget year, up from 47,395 times during President George W. Bush’s final full budget year, according to annual FOIA reports filed by federal agencies. Obama was president for nine months in the 2009 period.
Departments used the exemption more even though Obama’s Justice Department told agencies to that disclosing such records was “fully consistent with the purpose of the FOIA,” a law intended to keep government accountable to the public.
The prolific use of FOIA exemptions is one measure of how far the federal government has yet to go to carry out Obama’s promise of openness.

For participating in or allowing these cover ups, Obama runs the risk of getting his hands as bloodied as Bush’s.
Now for those still confused why Amerikkka is so hated in the Arab world, this is what they see every day. They know that yt Amerikkka, for the most part, doesn’t value any life outside the “Caucasian” sphere. I have seen other videos showing them gunning down innocent Iraqis, and claiming that they are insurgents.
So what if the guys were even carrying guns. It’s not about posing a security threat; it’s just another excuse for yt men having sports at the expense of non-yts lives.
Now when you have a black man being commander in chief, and this attitude and non-accountability persists, it makes blacks look bad also. Because now we are guilty by association with these bloodthirsty crackas.
Say all you want about their actions doesn’t reflect on you or your president. That’s not the point. When these people have to endure these atrocities, it’s only human to make this association. They don’t know that most blacks abhor such racist behavior.
