To get to something serious.......

Fire Dog Lake is a fantastic site full of very capable and interesting people who really are experts in researching what they report.

Marcy Wheeler is probably the most astute wonderful and very exact people of the ladies at 'the lake'.

It has become common wisdom that Fridays are the info dump when it comes to the government releasing info. In the hope that the US will be busy with their weekend, and it goes into the black hole of forgetfulness.

So the CIA finally released a report yesterday confirming what a mess of people were reporting at the time at the beginning of the Afghanistan war, and the US was deep in responsibility for what happened.

It was about a massacre of over 3000 people, if not more. Killed in containers. And buried in the desert. Under supervision of the US forces. Because, you see, they said if the Taliban gave up their arms, and surrendered, nothing would happen to them.

And then they killed them.

The link is here.

And a ballsy Brit did a documentary on it, way back, but no one paid attention.

HERE.

It is fifty minutes long, and difficult to watch.

Under the line? The truth will come out.

These are things that upset me muchly. Why, WHY, are the Americans so fucking afraid of accountability, and bringing people to justice if they broke the rules? WHY are they afraid of finally bringing some accountability to what the previous administration did? WHY don't they have the fucking spine to stand up to the bullies and hold them to account?

Yup, it will come down to money in the end.

But it isn't about that. It is about being moral. And just. And they were not.

The fact that the new administration is blocking any kind of investigation resulting in some sort of retribution and punishment for acting outside of world-wide existing laws is spineless.

The news above is not 'news'. It was reported, and the reporters were denigrated.

I never want to hear about mass destruction of any sort of people again as something inherently evil and specifically attributable to one nation of people.

Everybody can look in their own mirror, as far as I am concerned....
