The Pentagon, NATO and ISAF spin the standard routine that only 'militants' are the victims of the numerous drone attacks in Afghanistan and Pakistan(see posts passim). This is seldom the case.
The recent Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC) report (full report and summary here) recounts tales of some of the victims of drone attacks, heart-wrenching stories of people caught in the line of fire in a war of massive proportions. While the drone victims’ stories have been recounted in newspapers and the report mentioned in the media, the tales of the people whose houses were demolished by the military when they razed entire villages or mistook the identity of the person have been avoided. Not on this site. But where is the accountability in the wider MSM in the US, Pakistan or internationally. I read a lot of newsfeeds. Where are these stories?
Shhhhh, its a secret.
ReplyDeleteWe are not suppose to know these things.
How in the world will the West ever win the hearts and minds if this comes out.
The Paks and the Afghans know what is going on.
Our MSM has done a great job of keeping the endless wars under cover.
They are an arm of the military.
