Subject: BS: US forces in Afghanistan desecrate bodies
I'm not making this up you know...
Tonight on SBS TV on their Dateline program, an Aussie journalist who was embedded with an Airborne unit took film of them facing the bodies of slain Taliban west and setting fire to the bodies. They were also taunting them with loud rock music and statements that they were just a bunch of women too scared to fight them like men. Seems the US troops are getting frustrated by having the Taliban play guerrilla tactics, wanting them to stand up and face them so they can use superior military power to blow them away. It seems to be working.
The Psy-Ops guys don't seem to care that they are breaching the Geneva Conventions.
I suppose the rest of the world will get to hear about this footage tomorrow.
