Kill Teams and Anti-War Kooks
[Spiegel Online report on "The Kill Team"] 'Trophy' photos from Afghanistan are very similar to those the redneck hunters take to show off their deer kill.
No surprises here. Soldiers brainwashed to see their 'kills' as sub-human or animals will continue the war crimes as long as we send them to criminal wars.
Apologists are already saying that the release of 3 photos out of close to 4,000 photos and videos that Spiegel 'obtained' will harm the war cause. All we can say is "we hope so."
Spiegel is a partner with Wikileaks so no telling what kind of psyops game is going on. Who benefits from these photo leaks? Spiegel is certainly not doing this as an anti-war statement.
Speaking of anti-war, I was going through the radio channels today seeing what was being said about Libya and ran into one of our local neocon war whore talking heads who used the words "anti-war kooks" a least 10 times in about a 20 minute segment. That would many of us he's talking about. Those who don't go along with the program of kill them over there before they kill us here. - I'm sort of proud to be a kook.
