Afghan protesters turned out in force in the Wardak Province today, carrying the freshly exhumed bodies of three more victims of the special forces torture scandal that has been rocking the Nirkh District, where villages say US troops routinely raided them and disappeared civilians.
The long-standing complaints about torture in Wardak gained considerable credence this month when the Afghan government obtained a video of a torture taking place in US custody. The victim’s body was found a week later, dumped in a ditch just off-base.
Today’s protesters marched on the Wardak Provincial governor’s office, demanding they do something to ensure the prosecution of US Special Forces killers. Two of the protesters were slain in clashes with police, and the rest fanned out to block the main Afghan highway.
US officials insist all of the allegations about the special forces are “untrue” and that the US was never involved in “unlawful deaths” in Wardak. NATO investigated the reports of disappearances and issued a brief statement terming special forces “blameless” for their actions.
Wishful thinking for a puppet regime.
Does anyone believe what US officials say? They themselves don't believe in what they say.
They believe it doesn't matter what they say since the Western media will never seriously question them.
Oh, dear, not the U.S. again being accused of crimes, surely. Makes you wonder, eh?
I do not look forward to it when these criminal psychopathic thugs, torturers, sodomizers and murderers come home and join police/sheriffs departments, FBI, DHS and other rogue alphabet agencies. They cannot hold a real, productive job since all they know how to do is kill and destroy for the state. "Law Enforcement" is loaded with them already and are employing their talents on the American people. Just what is the background on your local county mountie writing that traffic ticket, anyway? These monsters are our enemies, plain and simple and more and more people are waking up to that fact. Which is why all that ammunition is being stockpiled by them.
They ARE all PATRIOTS… That is NOT ACCEPTABLE
I guess you could say they're…"special"…patriots,eh?
What are you–a cop?
It is interesting to note that the U.S. Government refers to those victimized in what amounts to a "war of aggression" under international statute as "terrorists." We carpet bomb entire villages to rubble, torture prisoners, kill civilians with unmanned drones, engage in resource theft, occupy a sovereign nation based on fabricated or bogus intelligence as we interupt all aspects of daily life and have the unbridled gall to refer to the Afghan people who played no role whatsoever in 9/11 as terrorists?
The one thing the US does better than any other corrupt regime is to protect its war criminals,possibly with the exception of Israel which has perfected the technique.
Ain't empire grand?
