Charity: U.S. troops stormed Afghan hospital

"KABUL (AP) — A Swedish charity accused American troops Monday of storming through a hospital in central Afghanistan, breaking down doors and tying up staff in a search for militants. The U.S. military said it was investigating.
The allegation that soldiers violated the neutrality of a medical facility follows the reported deaths of Afghan civilians in a U.S. airstrike in the country's north last week. An Afghan human rights group said Monday the strike on two hijacked fuel tankers may have killed as many as 70 civilians in Kunduz province."

"The U.S. troops came to the hospital looking for Taliban insurgents late at night last Wednesday. Fange said they kicked in doors, tied up four hospital guards and two people visiting hospitalized relatives, and forced patients out of beds during their search.
They also barged into women's wards, he said, adding that strange men entering rooms where women are in beds is a serious insult to the local Pashtun culture and word of it could turn the community against international troops.
When they left two hours later, the soldiers ordered hospital staff to inform coalition forces if any wounded insurgents were admitted, and the military would decide if they could be treated, he said."

When they left two hours later...

Hmm... may have had time to plant an explosive device that they plan on setting off later and blaming on the Taliban. Might be a good idea to run a full inspection.

Our NATO troops seem to be running amok again....but, hey...they're only Afghanis...not real "people" or anything, so what IF the soldiers are tearing them out of their hospital beds.

He, Piglipstick. I don't know who to tell about this but I can't access The Truthseeker website anymore:

http://www.thetruthseeker.co.uk/

It's one of the best alternative news sites going but for the last few days I cannot access it.

Shouldn't truther bloggers be raising some kind of alarm about this?

It sucks to have to think along those lines nick but you're absolutely correct.

I went to the google cache of that site and this is what they had up gc:

"Cyber attacks on this website continue. If you have problems accessing the site please try again later as we will do our best to stay online and countermeasures will be in place soon. This foreshadows open hostilities with Iran and a domestic clampdown across the U.S. and possibly Britain too."

Other major blogs and sites were attacked too.

Thanks piglipstick.

I hope this site will be back online soon.

If they don't allow us to stay sane by accessing the truth on the Internet...

We just may have to be come "a bit more intrusive" (as we say in the social work business).

By this I mean take to the streets.
