The official version of the Kandahar massacre becomes more improbable by the day

WASHINGTON - U.S. investigators believe the U.S. soldier accused of killing 17 Afghan civilians split the slaughter into two episodes, returning to his base after the first attack and later slipping away to kill again, two American officials said Saturday.

But it also raises new questions about how Bales, who was formally charged Friday with 17 counts of premeditated murder and other crimes, could have carried out the nighttime attacks without drawing attention from any Americans on the Kandahar province base.

Meanwhile, through Agonist, Globalpost reports that local reporters were not allowed to interview the wounded witnesses held at a U.S. hospital. They did interview two witnesses:

“I didn’t hear a lot of shooting and I didn’t hear helicopters,” Habibullah recalled. But he did see “two or three Americans” enter his compound, “using lights and firing at my father, who was wounded.”

Massouma, who lives in the neighboring village of Najiban, where 12 people were killed, said she heard helicopters fly overhead as a uniformed soldier entered her home. She said he flashed a “big, white light,” and yelled, “Taliban! Taliban! Taliban!”

“While he stood there, I secretly looked through the curtains and saw at least 20 Americans, with heavy weapons, searching all the rooms in our compound, as well as my bathroom,” she said.

thanks to the people at DemocraticUnderground, this cover up is not going to be accepted.

Its already accepted in Americana

You wont see the trial for at least 2 years and by then everyoone would have forgotten about it. Saddams trial took less time. A whity killed a bunch of brownies and the power holders dont care. It does not seve the purpose of the powerful elites.

It doesnt matter if it is accepted in America or if it is forgotten. It matters that it is not accepted in Afghanistan.

there are more comprehensive reports on RAWA saying that the villagers saw helicopters and about 20 foreign soldiers involved in this attack.
