NATO Tries to Silence a Truth-Teller in Afghanistan After Killing Pregnant Women(with video)O
A: Because he told the truth about a night raid that killed Afghan civilians, including pregnant women.
Recently, we spoke with Afghanistan-based journalist Jerome Starkey about his reporting on special forces raids that killed civilians and NATOs surprising–and disappointing–response. This video contains disturbing images, and an even more disturbing story of violence, and an attempt to silence a truth-teller. It shows why its absolutely essential that we keep pushing back against the Pentagon’s message machine.
