"Afghan Massacre: The Convoy of Death"


THE FOLLOWING IS A REPOST OF A JANUARY 29TH POST. I REPEAT IT BECAUSE THIS FILM IS NOW BEING RELEASED IN THE U.S. AND YOU CAN PURCHASE IT FROM YOUR LOCAL PACIFICA RADIO STATION.

The title of this post is actually the title of a documentary film soon to be released in the United States within the next month or two. In essence it shows how President Bush's military is responsible for the murder of more than 3,000 captured Taliban soldiers in November 2001. If any portion of this is true, then the American public is going to be all over this, unless Bush is coy enough to start the Iraq invasion beforehand, to distract the public's attention (which unfortunately is darn easy). HERE and HERE and HERE are some links to the story.

On a related note, unless you have a strong stomach, you don't want to watch this film. It clearly shows American servicemen massacring probable Afghanis from afar. This makes me brutally embarrassed at being an American, and totally understanding of why much of the world hates us. Note: the file is a large download (20 MB).
