Wikileaks: Hundreds Of Afghanistan Civilians Killed By Coalition Forces
So this is what had the Wikileaks founder so jumpy. No wonder the government wanted to keep this under wraps:
A huge cache of secret US military files today provides a devastating portrait of the failing war in Afghanistan, revealing how coalition forces have killed hundreds of civilians in unreported incidents, Taliban attacks have soared and Nato commanders fear neighbouring Pakistan and Iran are fuelling the insurgency.
The disclosures come from more than 90,000 records of incidents and intelligence reports about the conflict obtained by the whistleblowers' website Wikileaks in one of the biggest leaks in US military history. The files, which were made available to the Guardian, the New York Timesand the German weekly Der Spiegel, give a blow-by-blow account of the fighting over the last six years, which has so far cost the lives of more than 320 British and over 1,000 US troops.
Their publication comes amid mounting concern that Barack Obama's "surge" strategy is failing and as coalition troops hunt for two US navy sailors captured by the Taliban south of Kabul on Friday.
From Steve Hynd over at Newshoggers:
The newspapers admit they kept some secrets too sensitive for publication buried and the details in the document dump seem to be of the kind well known already to wonks who have followed Afghanistan reporting over the years, but the manner and volume of the War Log's release will doubtless crystallize the opinions of many who were only casual readers of news from the West's occupation there. With public opinion against that occupation running at some 60% in the U.S. and over 70% in the UK and Germany, these leaks will put further pressure on Western governments to find an exit sooner rather than later.
Among the stories on which new light has been shed:
-- Pakistan and to a far lesser extent Iran have been offering funding and other direct aid to Taliban groups for years. Pakistan's ISI is reported to have been behind many Taliban targeting decisions, including on U.S. and coalition troops, despite it being an ostensible ally.
-- The U.S. has been using an undisclosed "black" unit of special forces, Task Force 373, to hunt down targets for death or detention without trial. This team has been responsible for the deaths of Afghan policemen and civilians, including children but authorities seem to have been more concerned with keeping its operations secret than curtailing its zeal.
-- There have been over 50 incidents of "Green on Green" fire - where Afghan police or soldiers opened fire on their fellow uniformed countrymen, many begun by drug use, corruption or indiscipline.
-- There are reports of hundreds of border clashes between Pakistani troops and their Afghan or American opposite numbers - far more than previously reported.
-- The 140 reports of incidents involving the shooting and blowing up of civilians by Coalition troops reveal a casual disregard for human life, including "nearly 100 occasions by jumpy troops at checkpoints, near bases or on convoys...'warning shots' often seem to cause death or injury, generally ascribed to ricochets."
The reason why governments don't want us to see war too closely is that they see how little point there is to the whole bloody mess. Why are we still there? Why are we destroying all these lives?

Notice that the first sentence in the AP story says that the Pentagon is trying to assess the damage this leak caused.
Many honorable people have been trying to assess the damage caused by the Afghanistan war on America's reputation and economy. But we are blocked from knowing the truth by too many state secrets, and by a mismanaged government war plan, and by a compliant, embedded media that can't be bothered to find out the truth for itself or act on our behalf. Curious how bad news and inconvenient truth always seem to be the first things classified.
Why are we permanently intrenched in the Middle East? The truth no one will speak -- we're hooked. We need to occupy these countries and control the region at all costs, which means throwing money at the war effort and the warlords hand-over-fist -- while our own country goes down the tubes. We need that oil, period. We have killed and will kill hundreds of thousands of people to get that oil. Our government and media will make up and repeat a hundred false justifications before they will admit it.
The Guardian credits both the NY Times and Der Speigel for their participation in this story but it's clear The Guardian took the lead.

The nature of the media has changed so much since the Watergate era - has BEEN changed, DELIBERATELY is more like. There is a huge difference between the way this story would have been reported by Walter Cronkite or Huntley/Brinkley and the way it will be reported by the reight-wing likes of Wolf Blitzer or John King, let alone Hannity, O'Reilly, Beck and that lot.
The big spin on this story will be how unpatriotic, even treasonous are those who let this cat out of the bag. Never mind that they're not even Americans so those epithets don't apply. The public will be whipped into an outraged frenzy at the audacity, the Republicans will gain votes by beating the war drum even harder, the Democrats will be smeared for any rational reaction (though lamentably most will react exactly as the Republicans do) and it will turn out as a net political gain for fascism and the M.I.C. Just watch.

Best way to end any war is to make the children of the wealthy and the politicians HAVE to participate in the killing and slaughter. Also, increase taxes on the corporations who are making money off of the deaths that wars cause - and make them pay those taxes.
Of course, these things will never happen, as our politicians are in the pockets of the war mongers. And besides, some of our politicians like to kill brown people for religious reasons.

time to fucking grow up, get real, and pull head out of arse; this is what our country does, and if you want all the other stuff that you regularly complain about to stop, you have to stop this first.
once again with feeling, quit cutting any of these people a break, let the goddamn repubs win if that is what the country wants, but you DO NOT support any president that does this shit, and that is exactly what "bloody barack" does, he is in it up to his eyeballs.
have at it, i am used to getting beat on, being red is nothing new to me, i have had gutless "liberals" pissed at me for forty years for pointing out how friggin high school their politics are; this is the real world baby, people get friggin killed all the time, remember that next time you say how "right" idiots like paul krugman are.

The problem as I see it is that Obama inherited two things from the Bushies: 1) The wars and 2) the turd polishing that the Bushists were doing behind the scenes to make the war seem 'less intrusive' into the minds of the lulled public.
The public hasn't had to sacrifice anything for this war. No coupons, no rationing, no tax increases, no war bonds. The Bushist war on the world could almost be called an 'un-war war'. No wonder every Tom, Dick and Hairy knuckle dragger found it so easy to blindlessly support the war and buoy the president/idiot George Walker Bush.
They saw no bodies. They saw no blood. They saw 'golly-wow' things like missiles and bombs and big explosions. You know, fun redneck stuff... Almost as much fun as blowing up frogs with firecrackers and exposing CIA agents...
Obama is stuck now with the shit bag that is burning at his doorstep.
One question: Could these leaks be a ploy by the GOP to show how badly Obama has conducted the war and hope that the notoriously short attention span of the 'general public' forgets that it was they (and the blue dogs) who created this shit hole mess?
Now with the turd polish wearing off, this is going to bite Obama in the ass hard. Shit that idiot Steele has already put the idea into the minds of the idiots that this is 'Obama's war of choice™'.
The problem with American politics right now is Republican extremism, and if you’re not willing to say that, you’re helping make that problem worse.
you make it sound as if Obama was forced at gun point to be president.

As Assange is saying, this is about war crimes. Civilian casualties are not "unavoidable", as the MSM is trying to paint them.
They are the murder of innocent men, women and children who never posed a threat to anyone. Innocent children murdered by NATO and US troops.
Innocent children cut down in cold blood by missiles fired by faceless cowards from thousands of miles away. Missiles that we pay for.
Innocent children murdered in their beds, in their homes, in their neighborhoods. Imagine that happening to YOUR children.
NEVER forget that.

Osama bin Laden and Pervez Musharraf in bed together
by Alien_Overlord
Imagine this - Osama bin Laden(economics and business administration graduate) and Pervez Musharraf(life long expert in "bleeding USA for even MORE money") having a business deal. Osama "releases a tape from time to time" and Musharraf let the USA use his country as a "shooting range". Or more like "we gonna do the shooting, you(USA) will pay to watch" ! It's all one big scheme - Osama creates fear and virtual destabilization of the region, Musharraf extorts the money and then they "split the booty". And if somebody wants a detailed info on where their money goes Musharraf does his "faked outrage act" and says "STOP micro managing, we got this - you just keep sending us more money". All this while probably Osama have shaved his beard and got a decent haircut, and releasing his "platinum singles" from oh let say - the Bahamas.
In all this chaos, Dick Cheney tries to "make an extra buck" for himself. All the "WAR contracting consortium" chip in for Dick if they want him to speak on their behalf. Because everybody knows - the more troops go to war, the more "contracts" there are to serve those troops. And who cares about the dead troops and their families - not Dick Cheney that's for sure.
