In Iraq, if you report or count civilian casualties, you become a casualty
If you've ever wondered how or why so many Iraqi hospitals were bombed and destroyed, in mine and many other's opinions it was to destroy evidence of war crimes against civilians and to shut-up or get rid of the witnesses. I posted this link yesterday on a thread about how the US is now refusing to give any more money to rebuild all the hospitals that they destroyed as they had first promised to do.

From article: "In Iraq, the US does eliminate those who dare to count the dead"

1. Funny, all these things we've been talking about for over two
years showing up in the media now.

2. But it's not the US M$M.

That article is also from 2004 so it misses out on the happenings of 2005, such as Darla Ruzicka.

3. I posted it for the newcomers mostly....
...and for those with short memories who get consumed with other priorities like the war on Christmas ;-)
