Afghan govt. demands arrest of US "death squad" who handcuffed, executed 8 children. US refuses


   We hold these Truths to be self-evident...

Kai Eide, UN Representative to Afghanistan confirmed the Afghan government’s investigative conclusions that US troops handcuffed and then executed eight students enrolled in grades 6 through 10 in a night raid on December 27, 2009. The US military and NATO responded the troops involved were non-official. The most likely source of para-military “non-official” troops in Afghanistan is Blackwater/Xe.

President Hamid Karzai demanded arrest of the US troops engaged in the break-in and mafia-style execution of their children. The US responded to the Afghan demand of January 1 by rejecting the findings of the Afghan government and UN with a vague promise of their own self-investigation at some later date.
 
Dave Lindorff caught corporate media in repulsive disinformation by quoting the NY Times titling and introducing this incident as:
 
Attack Puts Afghan Leader and NATO at Odds
KABUL, Afghanistan -- The killing of at least nine men in a remote valley of eastern Afghanistan by a joint operation of Afghan and American forces put President Hamid Karzai and senior NATO officials at odds on Monday over whether those killed had been civilians or Taliban insurgents.
 
Please consider my analysis in the below “Comment Policy” section of why corporate media frames the news in this way.
 
For further analysis of this "My Lai" kind of incident, I suggest here, here, here, and here.
 
Policy response: Gandhi and Martin Luther King advocated public understanding of the facts and non-cooperation with evil. I’m among hundreds who advocate:
  1. Understand the laws of war. These were legislated after WW2 and are crystal-clear that only self-defense, in a narrow legal meaning, can justify war. This investment of your time takes less than an hour and empowers you to legally stand for ending these Wars of Aggression.
  2. Communicate. Trust your unique, beautiful, and powerful self-expression to share powerful information as you feel appropriate. Understand that while many people are ready to embrace difficult facts, many are not. Anticipate your virtuous response to being attacked and give it in the spirit of competition, just as you do in other fields.
  3. Refuse and end all orders and acts associated with these unlawful wars and constant violation of treatiesThose involved with US military, government, and law enforcement have an oath to protect and defend the US Constitution. Unlawful acts only move forward with sufficient cooperation and public tolerance. Stop cooperating with the most vicious crime a nation can commit: war.
  4. Support global security through cooperation, dignity, justice, and freedom. End poverty through global cooperation to achieve the UN Millennium Goals by developed countries investing 0.7% of their income. End extremism by providing all humanity with an opportunity to live a life of peaceful creativity.
  5. Prosecute the war leaders for obvious violation of the letter and spirit of US war laws. You can only understand how these wars are specifically unlawful by investing the time to do so. Because the crimes are so broad and deep, I recommend Truth and Reconciliation (T&R) to exchange full truth and return of stolen US assets for non-prosecution. This is the most expeditious way to understand and end all unlawful and harmful acts. Those who reject T&R either by volunteering their name and/or responding when named are subject to prosecution after the window of T&R closes.

Comments policy: I welcome questions and comments that are civil and pertain to the article topic. Impolite and impertinent comments will be deleted.
 
Please also consider that I’m among hundreds of writers who have documented our own government’s disclosure of propaganda programs to support their wars. I suspect my articles are under such propagandistic attack from comments that use typical rhetorical fallacies to distract readers from the facts. I invite readers to sharpen their ability to discern such propaganda. They are characterized by a combination of: never addressing the facts, diverting attention through unsubstantiated belief in an alleged expert, irrelevant data, straw-man attack that distorts the facts, ad hominem attack of insults to the messenger, and lies of omission and commission.
 
I will use such comments to point-out the propaganda or delete them at my discretion. Again, all relevant and polite questions and factually accurate comments are welcome. As a professional educator I’m in agreement with my experience and research: we learn best from multiple perspectives in mutual commitment to understand the facts, see those facts from diverse points-of-view, and consider various policy proposals of what we should do.

    Oh God, is there no limit to the depths of depravity that the US will descend in the pursuit of profit and world domination?

    Are we sure that we defeated the Nazis in WW II? They seem to be well and hearty and living in the USA. Just look at the helmets of US soldiers - all that they lack is a swastika.

    Our race is the Master Race. We are(THE CHILDREN OF SATAN,,REVELATION 2:9,,3:9) divine gods on this planet. We are as different from the inferior races as they are from insects. In fact, compared to our race, other races are beasts and animals, cattle at best. Other races are considered as human excrement. Our destiny is to rule over the inferior races. Our earthly kingdom will be ruled by our leader with a rod of iron. The masses will lick our feet and serve us as our slaves."

    Sad, very sad, that these individuals that acted with such horrendous indifference, however, it proves to the rest of the world that the America once extolled for fairness and justice is nothing more than some English lapdog for the empire.

    I am still perplexed to witness again that the media is refusing to report such an inadmissible act of savagery by personnel under US / Nato command. It should be headline news and all those responsible have to be prosecuted. "Bringing freedom to people... by killing them?"

    Carl, I appreciate your courage in your ongoing work and dissemination of this vital information. You are a true example for us all. God bless.

    Karzai demanding action, yeah right.
    That would be like me walking into the bosses office on my first day at work and demanding better working conditions.

    Its a complete circle jerk, the masters tell the puppet to pretend he appears to have some authority and America lets him have the stage. Only in the final act justlike in the blackwater trial, the lawyers know how to bail each other out and purposely trip the wire, find the loopholes and extract themselves from any accountablility (there's a word for that) rendering the court system Xe-irremissible.

    My good friend, a Korean and Vietnam war veteran is still racked by guilt and horror, having followed the U.S. Army's orders to shoot children breaking curfew in S. Korea. I am a Taoist but he, thankfully, found his release in Christ which provides some surcease to his pain.

    The U.S. Military has been committing atrocities since forever. But particularly so since we became the U.S. Corp. in 1868. Citizens are responsible for what their government does in their names..... and all of us must be held responsible if we do not act against the hideousness.

    If your articles might be under attack, might you also be under similar? You might wish to look up the term Gang Stalking. Systemic destruction.
