Recorded from NPR's (National Public Radio) "Fresh Air" from WHYY, July 23, 2009 · In 2001, shortly after the American invasion of Afghanistan, hundreds or possibly thousands of Taliban and Al Qaeda prisoners surrendered to Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum, an Afghan warlord on the payroll of the C.I.A.

Over the course of three days, the captured prisoners were allegedly packed into shipping containers without food or water. Many suffocated, while others were reportedly shot by guards.

The mass grave has never been fully exhumed, and human rights groups allege that the Bush administration discouraged investigation of the matter, even after the urging of officials from the F.B.I., the State Department and the Red Cross.

Dr. Jennifer Leaning, Nathaniel Raymond and Dr. Nizam Peerwani of Physicians for Human Rights discuss their investigation of the alleged massacre and how the Obama administration is dealing with the issue.

What gets me about Bush's military policy is how often Bush/Cheney/Rumsfeld's actions were exactly what Sun Tzu admonishes against. While al Qaeda seems to have schooled on Sun Tzu.

For instance, “He who is prudent and lies in wait for an enemy who is not, will be victorious.” - "Know thy self, know thy enemy. A thousand battles, a thousand victories.” - and one of my personal favorites: “Strategy without tactics is the slowest route to victory. Tactics without strategy is the noise before defeat.” - Sun Tzu (ancient military genius)

The 3 faces of Death, Crime, Corruption, LIes, Arrogance.

The Oil business, the led business, taking prisoners, lying to them and killing them is a revolving door war businesses to promote Hitler type politicians to stay in power, to promote TERRORISM, to create ,more SECURITY to sell more weapons, meanwhile all the well uniformed neversleep courageous soldiers on drugs fight the wars against THE PEOPLE for the Elire Evil Imperialist Demons.

@im4wur2 Aren't they hardcore Muslims? Its a clash of culture, I really don't think what those people do is justice, and Muslims have been doing that since the 7th century. Do you think its going to stop anytime soon?

The Christians haven't even stopped yet.

@annfidela - With regard to: "how do you distinguish who are the terrorists?" - Terrorists are those that order, organize and commit acts of terrorism.

[annfidela]

@im4wur2 If the US is responsible for the deaths of 3,000 Afghans, then how do they weep at 9/11 which was a terrorist act. Tell me at the cost of victory, how do you distinguish who are the terrorists?

Unbelievable.

cleverfeller - Yea, if I'd made those comments, I'd have removed them too.

[im4wur2]

@cleverfeller - "We don't want peace. we want victory." - Sounds to me like you don't know what you're fighting for.
