The U.S. Can’t Keep Absolving Itself Over Afghanistan
The Pentagon now claims no wrongdoing in a parting drone attack that killed seven children. International law and basic morality demands real accountability.
U.S. forces bombed medical facilities in Afghanistan, dropped the most powerful non-nuclear bomb in the world on an Afghan village and often prevented journalists from assessing the toll. And, as in Iraq, the U.S. carried out torture in places like Bagram Air Base and the notorious Salt Pit CIA prison.
Unfortunately, current U.S. policy is only continuing the harm.
