U.S. Army ‘Kill Team’ in Afghanistan Posed for ‘Trophy’ Photos with Murdered Civilians
March 21st, 2011Via: Guardian:
Commanders in Afghanistan are bracing themselves for possible riots and public fury triggered by the publication of “trophy” photographs of US soldiers posing with the dead bodies of defenceless Afghan civilians they killed.
Senior officials at Nato’s International Security Assistance Force in Kabul have compared the pictures published by the German news weekly Der Spiegel to the images of US soldiers abusing prisoners in Abu Ghraib in Iraq which sparked waves of anti-US protests around the world.
They fear that the pictures could be even more damaging as they show the aftermath of the deliberate murders of Afghan civilians by a rogue US Stryker tank unit that operated in the southern province of Kandahar last year.
Another Good!
Yes, I suppose that because these “pictures could be even more damaging as they show the aftermath of the deliberate murders of Afghan civilians by a rogue US Stryker tank unit that operated in the southern province of Kandahar last year,” that the U.S. is going to have to find another Bradley Manning to torture for their publication.
Shame, humilitation, and imprisonment should not be the lot of whistleblowers. Period. The Gov/Corp is refusing to listen to the wake up calls- that NO we don’t like you occupying our countries, bombing us in the name of terrorism, and are persisting in their warfare pestilence, despite and whatever the victims say.
Heading toward another Lebanon under Ronald Reagan? You betcha.
