New Report, Footage Surfaces On Mass Graves Of US Soldiers
http://www.libertyforum.org/showflat.php?Cat=&Board=iraq_war&Number=293106000#Post293106000


I have no idea how legit this is - NO IDEA...and it took too long for me to download the footage plus I really didn't want to see more dead bodies - but if this got into the mainstream media.....:eyes:

snip - In August, reports began surfacing about incidents of dead American bodies being dumped into the Diali River by US helicopters in the early morning hours. Fishermen on the Diali river area , a small river originates in Iran and ends at Deglah, 60 kilometer east of Baghdad, were the first to notice the American practice of dumping bodies wrapped in black plastic bags from helicopters at dawn time into the river. Some of the bodies, still wrapped in plastic bags, were caught in their fishing nets.

Over the next few weeks more bodies were found in other locations including Al-Tharthar in Sammara and Wadi Hairan in Al-Ratibah. The bodies have been collected and buried in the general areas of those locations.

A new report has now surfaced on the Arabic website abolkhaseb.net, accompanied by some footage, which provides an in-depth analysis of the discovery of the bodies. The writer of the five page report (in Arabic) goes into great detail details about locations and how the bodies were dumped in rivers and remote desert locations. The author claims to have talked to two American female soldiers and an American communications officer who reluctantly confirmed the finding but said that most of these bodies were mercenaries who were promised high paying job and in some case US citizenship.

The narrator on the film clip indicates that the bodies were taken from the mass graves to an undisclosed grave and they will be handed over to Red Crescent, Red Cross or any organization that promises to get the truth out.

8. I did read the article,
mercenaries have no country, and deserve whatever they get.
They profit on the misery and suffering of others and are the worst scum on earth and I wish them all a speedy death.

10. I tend to agree with you
However - even if it IS mercenaries - what does that tell us how things are going over there - the fact that US troops are DUMPING bodies into rivers???????????

9. Well - I did NOT look at the footage
But according to the article - they were white(what could be determined) taller than most Iraqi's......

I wonder how many families would come forward if these were in fact mercenaries????????

11. Like the guy who was beheaded
from Georgia? The truck driver? Lots of families would come forward.

This is like after the Punta Gorda hurricane (Frances?) when there were rumors of hundreds of bodies lying around. That wasn't true either.

I just don't think this is true.
