Thanks for bringing this up.
To my recollection (from last viewing of the video) I only saw three instances of what might appear to be weapons, and the rest of those men appear to be very much unarmed. Still trying to figure out if the RPG was an RPG or a camera lens. I'll have another look at this.
At about 5:10-5:20, where Saaed tries to run for cover, the crosshairs make a wild jerk to the left while the chain gun fires. Four of those rounds appear to have hit nearly half a block away on the other side of the intersection. A line of rooftops above Saaed were pounded just a moment before.
Then there is the van. Did anyone else see weapons on those men helping Saaed? They were helping a possible enemy combatant, but they didn't appear to be carrying anything more harmful than a grown man who could barely manage to crawl.
Could it be possible, the area being in a Baghdad fraught with religious division, that the armed men were simply a local escort to protect the journalists? Enemy or not, there were too few militants present in that group to justify the kill.

Notice any difference with the crew emotion in this next clip? There are a couple of places toward the end where the crew are excited about well-placed shots, but they don't seem to lose their grip or stray off target.
