Yeah, they were really fucking innocent.
The reason why no one is upset about this is because this group of people were involved in a attack against an Army unit. From the air, ten minutes after a fire fight, it looks like they are just a group of people out for a stroll.
The video clearly points out that two reporters were killed. Sounds horrible on the surface, but the fact that two reporters were with this group proves this group was guilty. In other words, the reporters weren't "with this group by chance"; They were reporting on this group and what they did - and got caught in the cross fire. That's the risk they take. So did two kids. It's called collateral damage, and it's ugly nasty side effect of warfare.
This is what happens when you attack US troops. We fire back. And we have a lot of fucking firepower.
