U.S. Forces Involved with Afghanistan Genocidal War Crimes

The original story in the New York Times only mentioned that Afghan warlords shipped surrendered Taliban prisoners across the desert in shipping containers, resulting in their torturous deaths at Dasht-e-Leili. New evidence from Guantanamo detainee survivors of the atrocity indicate corroboration that Americans were on hand for the genocide.

It is known that the U.S. has working relationships with Afghanistan warlords in coordinating operations in Afghanistan against the Taliban. Are U.S. military forces in Afghanistan committing genocidal atrocities?

    • U.S. military forces are working with Afghanis to free the country from the oppressive hold of the Taliban. If Taliban members die while this happens, so be it.

      There's a difference between torture by metal container crossing the desert packed like sardines, and death as a result of defense. One is legal. The other is inhuman torture.

      When the U.S. commits war atrocities it makes it OK for the other side to do the same when they capture our troops. It also motivates Afghans who are already out of patience with the U.S. policy of civilian death, to join the other side.

      When people like you belittle the U.S. racist policy of war crimes as par for the course (or standard military policy - which it is) you endanger our own troops, a traitorous attitude making you no better than the Taliban. You aid and abet the enemy.

      Of course aiding and abetting the Taliban is good for perpetrating war and boosting General Dynamics stock prices.

    • No, they're working with warlords who have been committing genocidal atrocities since the Soviets pulled out.

      You just seem a little eager to me to slap on the label.
