US military strategist David Kilcullen has attempted to justify the murder of two Reuters cameramen in an airstrike in Baghdad in 2007.
When asked on BBC Newsnight whether the soldiers responsible for the killings had "made a mistake", Mr.Kilcullen responded by saying he did not think any mistake was made, despite the killing of up to 18 people (mainly civilians) and the wounding of two children. Following this, the reporter responded by pointing out that two Reuters cameramen were killed Mr. KIlcullen said "cameramen who were standing with insurgents, kind of interesting isn't it?"
He then went on to claim that the US and British invasion which has killed upwards of 100,000 civilians was "good for the Iraqi people".
