temfarang Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 The difficulty of maintaining secrecy in the Internet Age was on full view in America, this week, as the U.S. military found itself forced to explain the events captured in a leaked video of an Apache gunship killing Iraqi civilians. And the Israeli military and judicial system found itself coping with a similar problem as the cloak of secrecy over potentially embarrassing operations began to fray. For the first time since she was placed under house arrest in December, the Israeli government allowed the Israeli press to publish the name of a 23-year-old journalist, Anat Kam, who has been charged with stealing thousands of secret documents while serving in the Army and leaking evidence of an allegedly illegal assassination program that targeted Palestinian militants. An Israeli judge had previously not only ordered the Israeli press not to cover the case, but also to refrain from even mentioning that a gag order was in place. http://www.time.com/time/world/article/0,8599,1978752,00.html?xid=huffpo-direct [color:red] truth & honesty is bad for imperialists[/color] doesn't even mention the us troops digging bullets from murdered innocent womens. http://www.philly.com/inquirer/world_us/90332114.html Is murder by greedy amoral imperialists less evil than a Sharia murder?

Bangkoktraveler Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 Next we probably will see a drone launching a missile on some civilians and then be told the car was full of terrorist. If we call they terrorist, then we can kill them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

chuckwoww Posted April 9, 2010 Report Share Posted April 9, 2010 I doubt if that video will change many minds. Most people accept that war ain't pretty. It's part of the attraction for some I think. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
