I believe it was he, during the Bush administration, who happened to on the ground in Afghanistan when a Drone strike hit the village he was covering. His description of what he saw was graphically horrific to anyone who has an ounce of humanity.
That was probably the only time a credible independent journalist was present to see what those horrific weapons do to a village full of innocent people. It was hard to read. I wonder what is wrong with people who KNOW that those weapons are killing innocent men, women and children every day, but turn a blind eye to these crimes for political reasons?
We blame the German people for not speaking out, but while the Left did speak out when Bush was president, now when these horrors have been escalated under this administration, where is the outrage?
This is happening in Libya also. This week Amnesty International wrote a devastating report on the crimes, and they called them 'war crimes' I believe, being committed by the so-called 'rebels', armed and funded by the West.
Pilger has never been proven wrong, and anyone who tries to say he is, is being wilfully blind or they are complicit.
I saw Hillary Clinton today in Libya, they are all staking their greedy claims now, and watched in horror as she encouraged the 'killing of Qadaffi'. Murder of a leader of a country we have no business to be in, as she is in a hurry to collect the spoils. They need it to bail out their Bankster friends in Europe I guess.
To encourage these war criminals, as described by Amnesty International, to murder another human being, I felt sick watching her. Funny how we never hear Fox go after her anymore, not since Murdoch threw a party for her, after she 'proved herself' as a total warmonger and willing to even approve of torture. They sold their souls, but for what?
Those poor children, in the place she is egging on the murder of Qadaffi, which the murderous thugs who were cheering her on will do, will be killed also. As the HR Organizations have said, there are thousands of women and children trapped in that region and they are without food and medical care and they want a cease-fire to get them out. But Hillary is in a hurry, she made no mention of the brutality taking place there. Nor did she ask that the children at least, be evacuated. I don't know how they sleep at night.
