the US army killing a dozen civilians

On this day in 2006, Julian #Assange created @wikileaks.

Julian is 52 now. He was 38 when WikiLeaks published Collateral Murder and was last free. The video shows the US Army killing a dozen civilians, including two Reuters employees on assignment and the rescuers who stopped to help the wounded. Reuters formally attempted to obtain the video but the Pentagon refused to hand it over. The evidence of what had happened remained on US military servers until intelligence whistleblower Chelsea Manning sent it to WikiLeaks.

Collateral Murder had a massive impact. The millions of dollars that had been poured into Pentagon PR messaging couldn’t make the public unsee the war crime.
