At at a time when both the Bush Regime and Obama are agressively
calling for an escalation of the Afghanistan war, the story of the U.S.
military massacring Afghani two civilians is getting increasing
attention.
Three signs of this increasing attention from today alone
1) The New York Times had a front-page, above-the-fold story today
examining the U.S. airstrikes and strongly suggesting that the Afghani
government/U.N. death toll of 90 civilians --the majority of them women
and children--is correct.
2) The Associated Press today obtained video showing images of
many dead Afghani children.
From the article
"A U.N. official who has seen one video of Azizabad told The
Associated Press it shows maimed children. The official became highly
emotional describing rows of bodies.
A second Western official has said one video shows bodies of
"tens of children" lined up and he called the video "gruesome." The two
officials spoke on condition they not be identified because the videos
had not been publicly released."
3) Human Rights Watch has come out with a report saying that U.S.
actions in Afghanistan are increasingly shifting from ground invasions
to airstrikes resulting in civilian deaths.
