Did anything happen to the soldiers (and their officer) shown killing civilians in Wikileaks' Collateral Murder video [0]? What about whoever ordered that drone strike on a wedding [1]?

On [0]: as far as I know, the U.S. armed forces instigated an internal review immediately after the events in the video. The review determined that the use of force was consistent with the prevailing rules of engagement, and so there wasn't any disciplinary action.


Does that sound right to you?


I really don't know. I think it's a bit more nuanced than some of the commentary around it suggests, particularly stuff that was based on the original Wikileaks selective cut.
