WHO KILLED YOUR MOMMY AND DADDY?

Horrific series of photos as a US check point team, f*@$ up (sorry there's no other term which fits this situation so perfectly) a routine check in al Afar Iraq and then attempt to remedy their botch up. The scene in Apocalypse Now when a family gets gunned down at close range hiding a puppy comes to mind.

If it wasn't photographed it just would have been two more deaths. Most likely reported in the media as:

"Today in Tal Afar, two Iraqi insurgents were shot and killed at a US checkpoint, as seven of them attempted to pass through without stopping.

Five of the insurgents were captured unharmed."
