Chilling KBR video
 

could not get the video to play

That's because it is a real player video. Real player is the most evil player around it will install all sorts of spyware to your system. There are now other players that play it, but I just don't bother with them. If someone wants to release a real player video I figure that means their video stinks and they don't want anyone to watch it anyway.

yea i have herd that before about real player

we might find the video on another website with WMP
 

Until then, some explanations:

After insurgents attacked the convoy and disabled several trucks, the video showed the armored Humvee racing ahead. "They left. They, I don't know where they went, they're nowhere to be seen," Wheeler said.

Wheeler told the television network it was almost 40 minutes before U.S. troops returned. By then, Wheeler said he had seen two drivers executed by insurgents, including Dagit and Sascha Greener-Case of Sierra Vista, Ariz....

KBR officials in Houston, Texas, issued a statement which said the U.S. military has command and control of all KBR convoys in Iraq, and is required to provide security for KBR's employees through the company's contract with the Army.

"Not one of our employees leaves the United States for Iraq without thorough and repeated briefings on the dangers in Iraq," KBR's statement said.

Gloria Dagit said one of Keven Dagit's co-workers asked Army officials after her son's death why the civilian contractors had been abandoned by U.S. troops. He was told that Army tactics called for U.S. troops to leave, then regroup, and then return later with a larger force.

"By doing that, three men were killed," Gloria Dagit said.

The U.S. Army has since announced that its tactics have changed and that U.S. soldiers will stand and fight when convoys are attacked, according to the March 31, 2006, European edition of the Stars and Stripes newspaper.

This is a really weird situation we have, fighting our wars with profit earning corporations. I don't think the civilian contractors get much consideration in the news media because people think they are mercenaries...you know, in it for the profit. Of course, love of county has to be in the mix of motives for the contractors. But, there was another article somewhere about Halliburton paying dividends...It's a corporation. All this from a guy who voted twice for our President and holds him in esteem.

Mini clip not in Real Player...
 

...but it's not the same as the 14 minute version.

In defense of the guardsmen, the whole story...
 

Woolwine said he made the best decision he could at the moment under fire.

“They executed those men before we could get there,” he said. “It happened so fast. We were just pinned down.”

U.S. attack helicopters arrived sometime during the chaos, forcing the insurgents to take cover as they kept assaulting the convoy.

The last four civilian trucks pushed forward, accompanied by Woolwine’s gun truck and the rear truck.

When they reached Wheeler, Woolwine and Rick Wynne, the last civilian driver, pulled Wheeler from his truck. U.S. ground reinforcements soon drove off the last of the insurgents.

The Virginia soldiers said the truckers later thanked them for their actions, so they’re furious at Wheeler for airing his complaint on national television.

There are no dividends and I'm not sure you really want to go far with this thing-Learn the FACTS-Not repeat what you've Heard.
Curious Why are you posting this on O/O?

Read what's written, Yoopr, I never said the employees were getting dividends. Dividends, when they are paid, go to shareholders.

This is the only forum I ever look at.
