Afghanistan War Alert: Robert Greenwald Witnesses Security in Kabul

Visit http://rethinkafghanistan.com

Rethink Afghanistan Director Robert Greenwald is currently in Kabul. Here is his account of the intense security:

"It's hard to put into words many things about Kabul, where I've been interviewing members of the Afghan parliament, women's advocacy groups, and former Taliban members who want to negotiate peace.

"One of the most sobering things I've seen is how security takes over your daily life, and this footage of the front of the hotel tells it all. Guards with machine guns patrol everywhere--the face of a conflict brought home."

Hey. My parents and younger brother lived in Kabul for two and a half years, from 2005-2008. My brother wore a bullet proof jacket to school a lot, and they had high security to their home as well. I could tell you more if you want. They were working with an NGO. Let me know if you want to talk.

Peace and Love...

Hope you are enjoying your stay. Despite the safety factor, Afghanistan is a great country full of some of the most beautiful and hopeful people.

American intelligence always says, 'Well, you can't evaluate our impact because our operations are covert.'

THAT'S the problem!

Maybe they are -creating- all the problems!

How do we know?

Secrecy is fundamentally incompatible with democracy. Secret operations are for corrupt dictators.

We all know what the best disinfectant is.

Newsflash for you 'badbass'

'Al Qaeda' is a US invention.

Instead of aiming your vitriol at anyone anywhere outside our own borders, PLEASE for God's sake, pick up where the Maryland $#00ter left off, only go for C#enee and his Neoc0n buddeez.

PLEASE.

I wouldn't call it intense security as he does in the trailer, no one seems on edge or ducking for cover. All we get is this guys monotonous drivel, why not show us the real life and venture out from his sheltered 'prison' with a hidden camera - what is the point of this film.
