    Wikileaks Soldier Reveals Orders for "360 Rotational Fi

    Ethan McCord, one of the soldiers seen in the now-famous Wikileaks video in which two American Apache helicopters fire upon a relaxed, unhurried gaggle of men in Baghdad, has stated in an interview with World Socialist Website that he witnessed numerous times the indiscriminate slaughter of civilians in Iraq after IED attacks. McCord is on of the soldiers seen helping two wounded children after the attack. He has stepped forward with open opposition to the wars in Iraq and Afghanistan, and written a letter of apology for his part in the incident to the mother of the children, who has accepted his apology. The mother's husband was killed in the attack and found with his body shielding that of one of his children.

    McCord said to reporter Bill Van Auken:

    [quote]"we had a pretty gung-ho commander, who decided that because we were getting hit by IEDs a lot, there would be a new battalion SOP [standard operating procedure].

    He goes, “If someone in your line gets hit with an IED, 360 rotational fire. You kill every motherf*** on the street.â€

    So hard to know what to think. It is obviouse they had whepons and an RPG that can take a chopper out. And if those others were there to help why would they not wave off the chopper? It is very strange over there.
