Help get the video — and the word — out. Ms. Logan has asked the bloggers of the world for aid in getting this shown on TV.
Nearly four years on, is it too much to ask that we have one street in Baghdad?
The firefight depicted took place with 1.5 miles of the Green Zone, the seat of American power in Baghdad. So ineffective was the planning for what came after Saddam’s overthrow that open warfare between rival factions is taking place within earshot of Bush’s Imperial Palace.
The whole post has more on the utter failure of this administration to manage their war.
I haven’t watched the video myself. The description —
Several bodies are shown in the two- minute segment–”some with obvious signs of torture,” as Logan points out. She also notes that her crew had to flee for their lives when they we were warned of an impending attack. While fleeing, another civilian was killed before their eyes.
is quite enough for me.
