96. Who are the other two men? They aren't mentioned at all.
And "reporters working for WikiLeaks" are not exactly a 100% trustworthy source. WikiLeaks has already displayed a willingness to edit out context, misdirect, and sensationalize in order to push their agenda. Ideally, I'd like something better than an anonymous, sencondhand rumor from a biased source.

And "driving around in circles" gives the wrong impression. Better to say, why was he seen at the engagement site driving away, and then returning immediately after the airstrike with more men to assist the insurgents. Again, this is a very common thing to see in Iraq; insurgents often have a van or truck ready to evac wounded and dead personnel.

I'm NOT saying that I'm totally convinced the van was a legit target. I AM however saying that there is more to the story than pilots randomly shooting a coincidental good Samaritan without provocation and with no reason to suspect him.
