Gee, at 03:45 into the video, I clearly see one AK-47 and one RPG. If these two ‘reporters’ wish to embed with insergents, they assume responsibility for the consequences.

“If these two ‘reporters’ wish to embed with insergents, they assume responsibility for the consequences.”

Likewise, don’t bring kids to a gunfight. It’s clear from the audio that they were only shooting at people they thought were armed. They would have left the wounded man alone, for example, UNLESS they saw evidence of his trying to use a weapon. The wounding of the 2 kids was unfortunate, but they were INSIDE THE VAN. Those in the helicopter clearly could not see who the van occupants were. Had the children been visible on the street, presumably care might have been taken to avoid them etc.

This is hardly the “smoking gun” that Wikileaks implies.

Yes, you're correct. Reviewing it again I see the RPG and AK. At 4:16 you can clearly see the photographer kneeling at the building with his camera with a huge lens, which happens to look just like the barrel of an RPG.
