War Crimes and the White House: The Bush Administration's Cover-Up of the Dasht-e-Leili Massacre

[TheBelldiver]

I think the white house is letting us stir the pot then they are going to stir the fire creating a situation so they open fire in our direction. At first people will be sided with the government then.... We'll see

[TheBelldiver]

Five stars for reporting. Use this too as a register. I can't believe Bush is not in prison or hung like Hussain. I see no difference what's so ever. That's one Texan that needs a can of whoopass opened up on him.  I was in the oil patch same time he was and he pulled crap way back then too.

[AZABMALIK]

War Crimes was on 9/11 not in Afghanistan

[vee85]

If the bush administration can kill over 3000 Americans on 9/11 and get away with it then this is nothing

[psykotrol]

yup, Im sure its easy to simply dismiss an organization, take its acronym and turn it into an ad hominem.

Its a lot harder to prove it. Which you havent, at all.

Its hard to find out the truth, isnt it? That your country is complicit in war crimes?

Its easy to cover it up, its harder to bring a criminal trial to those involved.

Criminal trials are also the most moral choice. Unless you actually think impunity for war crimes is moral, in which case you are the retard.

[gritzschke]

Didn't they hang Saddam for the same thing?Talk about Hypocrits Bush mass murder = good Saddam mass murder = bad

[standforamerica]

no they hung Saddam for killing millions over the years he ruled over Iraq. not terrorist but anyone that so much said that didn't like him. Not only the peason that said it, but whole towns.

and yet Obama is over there now boming the hell out of women and kids, and not one of you Obama worshippers ask for any charges to be pressed agianst him.

And now Obama is saying he isn't going to close Gitmo, now that he knows how big the problem with dealing with terrorist.

[gritzschke]

I could care less, My point is that Bush and his lovers are hypocrits, It was bad for saddam but ok for Bush. Them people surrendered. Killing them broke the geneva convention, That is a war crime, covering it up is a war crime, Bush killed women and children too, That happens in war. And gitmo isnt closed because of the right wing fear factor that Obama is going to put the prisoners in your home,, If the terrorists are so bad what happend to the alerts, only on Fox News?

[EnhancementSmoker]

your trying to point out hypocrisy where there is none.

A lot of people on the left or "Obama worshippers" as you so ineloquently put it, are asking for just that...what do you think this video is doing? what do you think democracy now is doing...or the nation magazine?

an end to war crimes...and charges for anyone who commits them...including Obama.

If not, he is just as complicit as the Bush admin...crimes which were committed in our name...which i assume you supported.

[charlesknx]

the NY times? kidding? We're gonna have to do better than that. really not a reliable source. see walter duranty, jayson blair.

[librophile]

The vitriolic comments from the Republicans & Bush supporters here amaze me.

The Republican Party which presents itself as the "Holier Than Thou" high moral family values is the same party that is repeatedly caught going against these same high moral values!!

Adultery, war crimes, disregard of our Constitution, denial of Human/Animal Rights.

They need to replace their GOP elephant icon for an Hippo ... to best represent who they really are ... hippo-crites i.e., hypocrites.

[nuage7777]

Republicans are fuckers! Shit stains! Scum of the earth!

[mabusmojo66]

So are Democrats ..............wake the fuggup !

[linecoach78]

If there were only 800 more terrorists, we could have called it even Steven.

[jettbugg]

.....kill 'em all and let God sort them out!

[Smartassawhip]

This is wrong on so many levels. I am definitely signing the petition. Bush and Cheney and anyone else who is involved in this mess must be brought o justice.. that way the next time a president thinks about screwing us over.. he or she will think twice.

[Messenger0777]

We got in there 1 month earlier, the War began on 10/07/01. Im sure the transporting was under the control of the Afghan Army. Not talking Christians raised to turn the other cheek. A Muslim army with the education of a 1st grader raised under Taliban religious slavery. Some from villages destroyed by the Taliban. Where's the outrage from PHR over the Talibans August 1998 killings of 8000 reportedly killed in Mazar-i-Sharif. Is slaughtering of thousands only important if the U.S. is involved?

[salzarCFH]

Looks like General abdul is the real bastard here.

[ae3rvalles]

HA! And thats just a fraction of what the Bush Admin. did.

[rishsn]

wow the bush administration acts are out of a hollywood movie.......

[elucidative]

Good Luck! This government is rogue just like the last one. Bastards won't get away with it, sooner or later all regimes fall apart.

[swivelingchairguy]

their weren't any war crimes. this video is demo party's attempt to slander the republican party.

[labadee]

random words on the screen were so annoying

[sharinganclan213]

just know if you bring down teh CIA you bring down teh USA.

[scatts38]

bush,blair,and howard ,and all there administration needs to take responsibility in there actions. They hung Hussein for the exact same things the allies have done over their. We went to war on trumped up allegations without real proof . someone has got to be a counted for it

[rishsn]

Imperialism at is utmost.

[tubezillauk]

boo hoo i say good riddance who gives a fuck, only your law team who would rake in millions. Why don't you persecute China, Iran, Sudan or Zimbabwe dick wads.

[dgallegos4201]

so prisoners got murdered and no attacks on US soil since 9/11, so it sounds like bush did his job. we had to send a message after 9/11 that we are a sleeping giant not to be provoked. obama is taking us back to a pre-9/11 mindset which is irredeemably dangerous for us citizens.

[ollowert]

No, the largest attack ever happened on bushs watch.He doesn't get some any points because it didn't happen. The enemy got what it wanted when bush sent troops into Iraq and started the quagmire that that is. Along with the loss of life our economy collapsed under the huge cost of the war. Quit being a partisan hack.

[rishsn]

the largest attack on US soil was by a guy who played with bush when they were kids.

by a guy who worked for the cia

by a guy who stayed the night at the bush residence

by a guy who did deals with bush senior

[rishsn]

those are the people that surrendered.....you sound like hitler......im not surprised by many views i here nowadays on youtube. Many americans are ignorant/irrational and the country is slowly declining; look at the literacy rates and compare them to other developed countries, my god what has happened to the education system. People like you give the US a bad rep and a bad economy good thing you have foreigners to do your jobs for you.

[cri8tor]

Americans need to take back their government and make politicians fear the wrath of the people. Raise your children in the art of politics and infiltrate the government as politicians, government workers and law enforcement. Infiltrate the military branches and your future will be protected.

[Razortine]

tru, tru

[rojenman]

we went over and started a war people,wtf does that mean to you exactly.we are big brother ,if we say don't do it, don't do it..it is in our history and the beginning of the united states,indians are indians,we still view them the same way,history always repeats itself.

[RBMm0nkEy]

PHR helps terrorists

[Rikotistic]

My nephew came back from that war traumatized because he was pretty much threatened when he wanted nothing to do with anything involving facilitating any form of human rights abuse. He feared for a time that he might be targeted for simply having been approached for such duty that would have connected him with Afghan forces and their SICK ways. He and others would like nothing more than a war against ALL of them. A war against terrorists and those Bush propped up for things like this video. Five

[RacerXGTO]

You can throw Obama on the pile too, he committed sending more troops as well. Might as well hang him too.

[rolotommasi]

it's about time cnn reported this story. I've known about this for at least 5 years and have been passing out the Massacre in afghanistan video for at least 4 years now. Can we send those bastards to prison now?

[cat22203]

Well, everybody knows that Cheney should head to Hague, but the question is who is going to make it reality? Obama? I seriously doubt it

[zzweii]

I am surprised to see some dickheads thinking that 'United States' means 'Justice'.

[04ray25number2]

I'm sorry but 9/11 was an inside job.

[MattC6Toledo]

how?

[04ray25number2]

Control demolition with termites, search it here on YouTube.

[log140]

... so we can add massacre and covering up a war-crime to the war-crimes-list of bush and cheney!!

support the troops or get the fuck out of the US you liberal scum

all wars have war crimes this one is no different

[diah4]

That doesnt make the people right for committing war crimes.

You conservative scum need some morals in your lives.

[surferray69]

So your saying only liberals believe in human rights and have morals and ethics ? I guess by your statement that only liberals believe in the rule of law.

[plokowitsch]

so you think war crimes shouldn't be investigated? i believe "supporting the troops" also means picking out the bad apples rather than blind approval.

[InTheAtticLights1]

Bush Administration is guilty of a cover-up of war crimes in Afghanistan abeted by the FBI, DOD and the White House

PHR discovered the mass grave of Afghan prisoners of war who surrendered...

just as the US military discovered the mass graves of jews, gypsies, mentally ill, and other undesirables in Nazi Germany who were murdered in death camps.

What happened to this country?

[blazak]

Bush/Cheney killed 100 times the number of civilians that were killed on 9/11. If this country still stands for anything, Bush and his Halliburton handlers will be arrested ASAP.

[diah4]

I wouldnt hold my breath. One thing I have found true is money is power in this country.

I dont even understand why we vote anymore.

[PJYost38]

Bush and Cheney went around killing people??? Did they borrow a B-1 bomber and flatten a village? What a fucking douchebag. How about you go protect us then since your the expert. Join up today and you can be in combat in Iraq or A-stan within six months. If you know so fucking much about what it takes to keep us safe then get to it. Times wasting asshole.

[blazak]

They used our armed forces to do their killing for them, you dumb ass. And they created terrorists faster than they could kill them (along with all the innocent people they killed). Bush & co. made America the most hated nation on Earth. Only a cretin like you thinks that makes us safer.

[noodletropic]

We are "supposed" to protect the nation against enemies foreign and DOMESTIC. The we includes you.

[williamwallaceww]

that is why that people dont like america ... they just know that side of the coin.and why they will alway fight us

[Trenaway]

Why are you so full of hate and vile. Your so angry and sound depressed. Is it because you know that your a libtard and everything you have called me today is actually, YOU.

Oh by the way Sarah is leaving the Republican party. We are starting a new conservative party. This party is going to make libtards such as our fascist President.

[chaditudes]

Looks like the American justice system is dead to me.......

[Golgoth2121]

Cmon people.... We should've treated these TERRORISTS a lot better. Who cares if they might have killed a hundred or so innocent people. Even people the people that prey on innocents should have rights and be pampered after surrendering! /sarcasm

[chaditudes]

What you fail to realize is that if the US treats others like this, then how will the US be treated in return?

[Trenaway]

I rest my case on you. Your so full of hate and vile and your words prove it. I will laugh my ass off at you when Sarah Palin is our next President. You libtards are so scared of her, you have to spread lies and call her stupid to try to bring her down. The problem is everything you call us is actually what you are.

[grandtheftkodoo]

The goverment it so fucked up. Watch happens these next few years.

[Bittermanscolon]

Hey Pally, why don't you step up if you're so "concerned" yourself? Don't you care? If they can do this to these people, they can do this to anyone. Even you.

So shut your mouth and sit back while real people get things done. You're not helping at all.

[Steelman442]

Damn, what a complete fool.  Terrorists, I don't give a shit what happens to them. Don't arrest them just killem all. And eat a bullet yourself. International law, UN, all a complete joke. Adapt to your enemy, they would kill us all including our children if they had a chance. Torture them until you get what is needed, kill them and throw them in a hole

[Trenaway]

So lets ignore the current President, who has violated the Constitution so many times we have stopped counting. You talk about dept and the libtards democrat party has created more dept in six months than Ever in this country. You libtards are so blinded by your hate of Bush that you let Obama make Bush seem like a choir boy. I thought Bush was a bad President but I do not hate him nor blinded by it. Obama should be impeached now and Bush is not President anymore. Forget him!

[peejaa]

What a fucking Joke of a video! this is left wing Bullshit just like everything eles that comes out of ther pieholes! Shit!

[AmericanDominance]

Bush protected this country from terrorist.

[Boutartega]

That's why the US is going down! "Watch me now.. I'm going down!"..

[peejaa]

Ya you go down. i wont help you UP! jack ass!

[GeraldvanZ]

There's a difference between a massacre and a disregard for life. If the US wanted those Afghan soldiers dead they would have shot them instead of transporting to a prison for them to die on the way.

[jeffwads]

war crimes...haha. these fucking idiots make me sick. start your investigations with Clinton fucktards.

[yitzchok1000]

Why does everyone in this video look like they haven't showered or brushed their teeth in a while?

[ladeshia63]

I think that bush administration officials should be prosecuted just like any other criminals! They have all but destroyed America and the rest of the world! And this does include Dick Cheney sen him to prison where he will have to watch his bunns!

[Zeitgeist1Revolution]

almost 3000 U.S. citizens died in an event that was scarcely investigated and deeply covered up by the U.S. government. The 9/11 commission doesn't even mention the collapse of a huge building 7 and actually states the funding of the operation or the tracing of its financiers is of "little practical significance". There is a lot of work to do for those who believe in knowledge of the truth.

[Mullivaaykkaal]

The UN is ignoring the war crimes in Sri Lanka and continuing to fund concentration camps for war displaced Tamils.

In fact Sri Lanka's Defence Secretary Gottabaya Rajapaksa is a naturalized US citizen.

[FreedomsReigning]

The sad part is how the UN tries to imply that they stand on the moral high ground.

The UN is a quasi governmental agency unifying a totalitarian regime of fascism, and eugenics.

They were funded and created by the money elite to convince you that your freedom and Independent consciousness are over, and that you better toe the fascist line or die to the population control advocates.

The closer the UN gets, and the stronger we become. Defend your human rights.

[addlenne]

Lest see if president OBAMA will have the gats to order an investigation for this another bush crime.

[rblwoaclu]

google opium wars

[titodakid5]

it would be impossible to bring the US government on its knees not only with this incident but for every cover up since time. it would take alot to make the US admit it.

[kylaving]

I like the "after 8 years of investigation by PHR"and "it has now been revealed"

u should have said we googled abit lol

The Fact that Dostun was made Defence minister is because he controls half the countries soldiers ...nvm this is lacking so many facts in not gonna bother

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

is this a joke? whatever is going on in afghanistan/iraq is very consistent with the realities of war. whatever america is doing certainly pales in comparison to the torture camps in saudi arabia, north korea, pakistan, syria, sudan, russia, etc.

as far as the middle east is concerned, PHR has a questionable relationship with those governments.

this obsession with american "imperialism" is nothing less than pathetic.

[wizzledorf]

yeah, it's totally not as bad as like Hitler or Ghengis Khan. As long as our behavior is not as bad as the most brutal people in history we are still the good guy. Imperialism died with the British Empire, what the USA does is spread democracy and peace, that's why the Iraqi oil fields were sold to US multinational corporations

[ImNeilPatrickHarris]

the hitler fallacy.

PHR has received extensive donations from a series of incredibly brutal Arab states, which is why they do not report Saudi Arabia's/Egypt's complicity in supporting the genocide in Sudan and Russia/China bankrolling it with impunity.

OVer 2 million people have been killed.

And Congo? 3.5 million killed, systematic rape, torture - not a single UN resolution. 180 for Israel though, LOL.

US tortures people, so what? Is this news? It happened under Clinton, and everyone.

[166beads]

some people on youtube dont seem to understand the importance of international law, war crimes should not be accepted, brings back the war crime trials for world war two and make bush hang.

[kylaving]

Please do youre homework PHR

[kylaving]

When it comes to crimes the bush administration commited many HOWEVER this crime isnt one off them, after the battle of Conduz the US got the AQ ppl, while most of the taliban prisoners where let go by General Dostum, most of Foreign and hardcore Taliban where transported to a prison in sealed trucks and without water, once the NA opened the containers most Taliban where dead, because of neglect and suffocation by the the troops of Gen Dostum, The US troops where not near nor involved

[PJYost38]

A dead Taliban is good, the means isnt important. They all deserve to die like rats. Kill them anyway possible and do it over and over and over again until they are ALL dead.

[PJYost38]

Like Obama and this asshole would have done a better job protecting the country after 9/11. Obama would have sold us out to his muslim brothers and Holder would still be hiding under his desk. For 3 years after 9/11 the democrats were still shitting their pants while Bush was keeping us safe. Now the dems want to make themselves feel better after having been such cowards and this is how they do it. Put the people who kept us safe on trial. Brilliant. Fuck Obama and his entire admin.

[michaelballack]

Bush keeping us safe? wow you should go have sex with that old guy now, I rather live in Europe where I dont see my self as a person from a country that commits war crimes and covers them up with threats! you must be a very arrogant republican, all i can say is that Bush is a mass murder f*ckhead who should be trial for its war crimes and many other crimes he committed under his terms

[god6help6us6all]

wow. kept us safe? are you that dumb? you have no idea what youre talking about. stop smoking marlboro lights and drinking diet pepsi. typical american ignorance. its part of whats destroying this country.

[tuboidal]

Tragic...and great reporting. While a later event, Bush and Rumsfeld gutting Geneva Article 3 in 2006 is just more fuel on the fire. With similar White House cover-up style, having lost Hamdan v. Rumsfeld in the Supreme Court, they rammed legislation through Congress using the Foley scandal as a media smoke screen. Perhaps they had an even larger agenda with retroactive detainee abuse protection, knowing what came before. Then, Rumsfeld slipped quietly into the forest of his resignation.

[landcruiserlarry]

wow i bet 100 years from now you retarded Liberals will still be blaming Bush for their shortcomings, oh wait in a lot less then a hundred years the liberals will fuck up so badly as their Inexperienced liar leader is doing right now, the rest of america will get off their asses and run you pussies off our soil, got to france, oh its funny how you freedom haters only try to discredit the USA, you care nothing about real horror going on around the world, get a clue

This video is very informative and really disturbing. It makes me sick to think about all the executive power that was abused by the Bush administration. I don't understand why there isn't more outrage and advocacy so they can be charged and convicted of war crimes and crimes against humanity.... not to mention the wiretapping without warrants and other things they did. Their actions cannot be defended by a rational person. We need to make sure nothing like this can happen in the future.

[landcruiserlarry]

this video offers no facts, just accusations from Bush haters, get some real facts, then make a video

Thanks for starting to get this issue back in the news. BushCo needs to be held to account for his lawless reign on the world. The whole Republican party deserves to be held to account for the war crimes and crimes against humanity that they whole heartedly endorsed during the 8 dark years of United States history of which they have their distinct signature upon.

[mislanomo]

I agree with you except for the republican part. We have to understand that it really does not matter what party is in control. Red or Blue, there are selfish, uncaring individuals everywhere in our government. Thinking its all republicans fault will just enable democrats to do the same thing without you realising they are doing it. You have to take red blue bias out of your thinking to understand what is truly beneficial to all. BushCo does need to answer for their crimes though

[skr831]

You make a valid point. That being said, it was the republicans that offered absolutely no oversight while Bush and Cheney removed regulation of the banking system, started wars based on pure lies, sent billions of dollars in fresh hundred dollar bills to Iraq where it quickly vanished in the night... the list goes on. Republicans did this to our country and they should be held accountable. If the Democratic party becomes egregiously evil like Republicans, I want them in the gallows too.

[librophile]

Well said "skr831" ...

I couldn't have said it better myself. You have a clear understanding of the sad reality that was the Bush/Cheney adminitration & the Republican Controlled Congress.
