Please send letters to your media if you feel this is
something (see article below) that you would like to see on television here in
the United States. Everyone in Europe is going to be
watching this documentary. I'm also sending this out to everyone in
Congress.

Subject: Letter To The Editor Subject: German TV airs documentary charging American
war crimes in Afghanistan
Why no one is covering this story? Please read the article
below. Everyone who is against Mr. Bush's adolescent fantasies of nuking Iraq
ought to be hounding the major US media outlets for not addressing this issue.
This documentary deserves wide attention. It needs to shown on American
television. If everyone in Europe can watch it on TV, why can't we?
I remember when this story was first reported in the
Australian press about 6 months ago. My feeling is this is as just bad as
other genocide atrocities we loudly condemn others of.
Apparently this is something most Americans don't want to think about much less discuss or admit any involvement with. Where is the outrage? I guess there is none unless we can collectively lay the blame on some one else. This is a story all Americans need to know about even if our major media handlers wish to quietly sweep it under the rug hoping no one notices or that everyone will just conveniently forget about it. Sincerely, Warren Gammel Ocala, Florida German TV airs documentary charging American war crimes in Afghanistan http://wsws.org/articles/2002/dec2002/docu-d21.shtml Excerpt: "The film documents events following the fall of Konduz, the Taliban’s last stronghold in northern Afghanistan, in November of 2001. It includes interviews with eyewitnesses to the torture and slaughter of some 3,000 POWs out of a total of 8,000 Taliban supporters who surrendered to US forces and allied Afghan forces led by General Abdul Rashid Dostun. Prisoners were shipped to Shibarghan in closed containers lacking any ventilation. Local Afghan truck drivers were commandeered to transport between 200 and 300 prisoners in each container. One of the drivers participating in the convoy relates that an average of between 150 and 160 died in each container in the course of the trip. An Afghan soldier who accompanied the convoy said he was ordered by an American commander to fire shots into the containers to provide air, although he knew that he would certainly hit some of those inside. An Afghan taxi driver reports seeing a number of containers with blood streaming from their floors. According to one of the drivers, survivors of the transport ordeal were dumped in the desert near Mazar-i-Sharif. As 30 to 40 American soldiers looked on, those prisoners still alive were shot and left in the desert to be eaten by dogs. {Other prisoners were buried in mass graves} The reaction of the American government to Doran’s film has been a mixture of prevarication and bullying. The American media has exercised almost total self-censorship regarding Doran’s film and the criminal activities of US soldiers in Afghanistan. Initially the Pentagon issued a statement June 13 denying the allegations of US complicity in the torture and murder of POWs. The US State Department followed with a formal denial on June 14." |
