Because We're Not Supposed To Know How Many Wogs We Kill
British officer held over Afghan casualties leak
"A senior British Army officer has been arrested in Kabul and faces charges under the Official Secrets Act for allegedly leaking figures about civilian casualty figures in Afghanistan to a human rights group.
Lt-Col Owen McNally was detained after details about people killed and wounded during Western military operations were leaked from Nato headquarters in the Afghan capital."
"... we don't do body counts."
Gen Tommy Franks, News conference at Bagram Air Base, Afghanistan, March, 2002, in reference to Afghan deaths due to invasion
Oh, but we do, in both Iraq and Afghanistan, it's just that you and I periodically aren't supposed to know them. Especially when there's the usual, egregious civilian slaughter.

Thanks again Nolo! Just the war crimes in Fallujah alone would be worth putting scores of higher ups on trial for-much less when a person considers the whole scope of America's imperial 'MIS'-adventures over the years! best to you and the Mrs and all who comment here!
