I watched a longer cut of the Video on the news last night, and it appeared to show vast confusion on the part of the unit they followed, it started out with them not knowing other Marines were already in the building (them shouting 'who's in there?', 'we're coming in') then another group of marines telling the same Marines they nearly got shot by a Tank, then when they entered the building several questions got asked one of which was about the "Insurgents" being shot and if I remember correctly one of them said 'Yes' then another asked if they (the wounded) were unarmed to which I did not hear a reply.
The broader view I got of that was that the Unit was already confused, they entered the building thinking the wounded had just been shot, and had yet not been checked for weapons. I am hoping this is a case of 'the fog of war' and not execution of unarmed combatants by the U.S Military (we can hope right?)
