- London Times reporter Jerome Starkey has broken two stories
of US/NATO atrocities in Afghanistan over the past month or so, the first
the execution-style slaying of eight innocent Afghan students and a visiting
12-year-old shepherd boy, and the second the killing of a popular government
police commander, a local government prosecutor, two pregnant women and
a teenage girl.
-
- The US/NATO response was first to lie about what happened
(military spokesmen first claimed that the students had been a bomb squad
and that they'd died in a firefight, and they claimed that the pregnant
women had been "discovered" bound and gagged). Then, when Starkey
interviewed locals and blew the lies apart, the military command under
Gen. Stanley McChrystal took a more insidious step, trying to malign Starkey
and his reporting.
