It is being reported (obviously not by CNN) that they possess a video PROVING War Crimes in Iraq by American soldiers. The only problem is, CNN owns the tapes and refuses to air them or release them.
Michael Ware, a prominent war correspondent in Australia, says he witnessed American soldiers executing a teenage boy by shooting him in the back of the head. According to Ware, the young Iraqi posed absolutely no threat to U.S. forces. This story comes shortly after U.S. soldiers in Afghanistan were accused of creating a "Death Squad" that killed Afghans for fun, then dismembering their bodies for "trophies." What I want to know is when these soldiers will be tried, and convicted as War Criminals.
Also, I want to know why CNN feels the tape is too graphic for the public to view. They wouldn't necessarily need to show it on TV, but could release it online, and with some sort of disclaimer. I can only hope WikiLeaks can somehow get a hold of the tapes.
The American public MUST be aware of the atrocities we are committing over there! We are not winning over hearts and minds, but rather killing them for sport.
So, we obviously need ne plans for Iraq/Afghanistan...something like: GET THE HELL OUT! There should be outrage with CNN, until they release the tapes. I know for me personally, I will stop watching their channel, and visiting their website until the video is released. I have plenty of other options to get my news.
