Thread Name: BS: Iman shames the U.S military?
Subject: RE: BS: Iman shames the U.S military?
There was a pretty harrowing news story about it on Independent Television News tonight - that's the main non-BBC News in the UK.

Here is the Channel Four page about it:

"....If her story is true - and it has been disputed by the US military - human rights workers say it is the worst massacre of civilians by US troops in the country"...

And there is a link to a video of the piece, with an interview with Iman, on this page right now. I'm not sure how long it will be there, not because of censorship but because that's how news sites work. It might be archived. (You need to be using Internet Explore for the video link to work.)

The US authorities apparently refused to make any comment for the new programme. In fact it appears they declined to look at the interview given by the little girl who survived the massacre of her family and neighbours.

And here is a link to an American paper printing the story. Time magazine has coverage too - but you can't access Time online without paying them money.
