Indulge my ignorant speculations about the Afghanistan massacre

[jpgray]

Just the logistics of it make it hard for me to imagine this was perpetrated by one man. How does one man murder people in at least three houses and pile eleven bodies together to light on fire? I've never lifted a corpse, but lifting one human body is difficult work, let alone eleven. I'm trying to imagine how exactly one kills a person or more in a house, stops to pick them up, goes and kills others, picks them up in turn... it's extremely difficult to imagine how one person could practically accomplish this.

2. Villagers say more than one; Pentagon says one.

3. All good questions...

the official story is almost always a lie, that's what makes it official.

4. Wow. Another cover-up? I think of Pat Tillman; that turned out so well-not.

Good points/this sucks so bad.

5. Early Twitter feeds said a group of drunk solders.

But as the facts became more 'clea.r .

6. The same thing that makes it so horrific is probably the answer to your question

Nine of the victims were children.

7. I have lifted human corpes, and it wasn't easy for me, but I wasn't

a soldier who exercises all the time, and I wasn't pumped full of adrenaline.
