I saw the feature on that penguin on animal planet a long time ago. Amazing how someone could actually train a penguin do some light shopping for you. You could probably teach that to a dog, but a penguin? really cool.

It's not so much about these two journalists. From my point of view, it makes us question not just this particular attack, but every single engagement they undertake. What are their rules of engagement? Where do they draw the line between terrorist and simple bystander? (and that's a pretty huge effin' line)
What disgusted me the most is how trigger happy they seemed. I can't see myself ever enjoying war as much as these guys. A group of people walking around, one of them with a black rectangular object on shoulder? SHOOT! A guy bleeding to death on the ground? "Pick up a weapon so I can shoot!" "lol he ran over a corpse"
So yes, sure, there's been a lot of commotion about these two journalists, but that's because Reuters has the means to demand an investigation. This doesn't mean we don't care about the other people who died there.
Oh, and Temphage, there is a big difference between collateral damage (civilians thrown in as human shield ; something already difficultly justifiable but sadly inevitable) and openly attacking a bunch of civilians with no enemy in the vicinity. "They could have been a threat" is far from acceptable enough.
"Soldiers are NEVER looking for cameras, so I can see this being an easy mistake " Then you know where the problem is. I can't see this as a proper excuse for attacking whoever just happened to be there.
This guy has an excellent grasp of what makes a good story. I'll post one of his videos and a link to his youtube channel, in case anyone is interested in continuing the review or checking out commentary on other movies (his full review of The Phantom Menace is probably an hour and a half long)... <center><object width="450" height="356"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/FxKtZmQgxrI"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/FxKtZmQgxrI" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" width="450" height="356"></embed></object></center>

zimzum, that video chills me. I really want to believe it was just set up and satirical, but it looks like real withdrawal symptoms.

I think someone should edit the beginning of the video a bit and use as a video of a possessed person it to scare the ###### out of some religious folk.

Very cool effects, but not much plot. He should probably stick to effects and not try to be an auteur. Then again, if he's only 16, he's got plenty of time.
