US Soldiers Shoot Handcuffed Children in Afghanistan
American terrorist outfit Blackwater is killing and hanging Afghan children. As recently as yesterday, they hanged an 8-year old boy. They desperately try to frame Afghan Muslims who live according to the sunnah of the Prophet(pbuh).
Another thing that is very horrific that it is the US forces that have been killing and torturing Afghan people.

Note, the first order of the day: Did McChrystal authorize? Haul him back to Washington to answer some questions. Who gave the order?

Hundreds of university students blocked main roads in Jalalabad, capital of eastern Nangahar province, to protest the alleged deaths of 10 civilians, mostly school children, in a Western military operation on Saturday.

The London Times reports: "President Karzai sent a team of investigators to Narang district, in eastern Kunar province, after reports of a massacre first surfaced on Monday."
"The delegation concluded that a unit of international forces descended from a plane Sunday night into Ghazi Khan village in Narang district of the eastern province of Kunar and took ten people from three homes, eight of them school students in grades six, nine and ten, one of them a guest, the rest from the same family, and shot them dead," a statement on President Karzai's website said.
Assadullah Wafa, who led the investigation, said that US soldiers flew to Kunar from Kabul, suggesting that they were part of a special forces unit.
Mr Wafa, a former governor of Helmand province, met President Karzai to discuss his findings yesterday. "I spoke to the local headmaster," he said. "It's impossible they were al-Qaeda. They were children, they were civilians, they were innocent. I condemn this attack."
In a telephone interview last night, the headmaster said that the victims were asleep in three rooms when the troops arrived. "Seven students were in one room," said Rahman Jan Ehsas. "A student and one guest were in another room, a guest room, and a farmer was asleep with his wife in a third building.
"First the foreign troops entered the guest room and shot two of them. Then they entered another room and handcuffed the seven students. Then they killed them."

The Karzai government has dispatched investigators, from the presidential website, President Karzai in a telephone contact expressed condolences and shared grief with the families of the victims of the recent attack in Kunar province. Following the attack, President Karzai tasked a delegation on Monday led by the Chief of Complaints Commission and composed of representatives from the ministries of Defense, Interior, National Directorate of Security and the Office of Administrative Affairs for an immediate investigation of the incident. The findings by the delegation concluded that a unit of international forces descended from a plane Sunday night into Ghazi Khan Village in Narang district of the eastern province of Kunar and took 10 people from three homes, eight of them school students in grades six, nine and 10, one of them a guest, the rest from the same family, and shot them dead. Eight of those shot dead were confirmed as school students by the village school principle.
In "The Year of Living Dangerously" the actor facing monstrous social injustice and oppression of the Jakarta government poses the question "What then must we do?" He has tried living his life peacefully, helping one family at a time, and hoping for a better future. But it is not enough. The first thing we must do is place the blame where it belongs. Not only at the feet of the actual perpetrators, who must be prosecuted to the full extent of the law, but also with those who know, without doubt, that atrocities come with come with the package when you vote for war, because that's what war is, an atrocity. The just released equivalent of the Pentagon Papers, the US Army's official assessment of what went wrong in Afghanistan, notes that this is a conflict of our own creation, probably avoidable but for the absence of any attempt to address starvation conditions, rampant 40% unemployment, and other indicators of economic chaos. Yes, this under Bush, but a military approach to Afghan instability is just as wrong an answer now as it was then. Moreover, it almost seems as if the neglect leading to further war was all but deliberate.“There was no major planning initiated to create long-term political, social and economic stability in Afghanistan,” the historians write. “In fact, the message from senior D.O.D officials in Washington was for the U.S. military to avoid such efforts.”
The US Congress knows full well that more of this is coming if we continue on this course in Afghanistan. Americans are gearing up to oppose it as never before. From Peace of the Action:We’ve marched, written, called and faxed but the wars continue. It is time for new creative strategies and bolder action. Peace of the Action will bring forward an historic escalation of Peace Activism like we have not seen in the United States in a very long time. "...you've got to put your bodies upon the gears and upon the wheels, upon all the apparatus, and you've got to make it stop." -- Mario Savio 1964
These are the funders, the enablers, who voted for more war funding on Dec. 16. (for the breakdown look in column for war and escalation 12/16/2009) Note, thanks to David Swanson for excellent research.‪Afghans Protest Against NATO Killing Civilians‬‏ - YouTube
