When interviewed by '' Wired '' , McCord stated that he supported Wikileaks in releasing the video , with some qualifications : " When it was first released I do n't think it was done in the best manner that it could have been . They were stating that these people had no weapons whatsoever , that they were just carrying cameras . In the video , you can clearly see that they did have weapons ... to the trained eye . " McCord added , " I do n't say that Wikileaks did a bad thing , because they did n't . ... I think it is good that they 're putting this stuff out there . I do n't think that people really want to see this , though , because this is war . ... It 's very disturbing . " James Spione made a short documentary film about the airstrikes called '' Incident in New Baghdad '' , featuring a first-person account from Ethan McCord . It was nominated as a Documentary Short Subject for the 84th Academy Awards
