The Scotsman: US had role in Taleban prisoner deaths (via a close friend):
This is somewhat worrying if true. The American “war on terror” is founded on slightly shaky ground to begin with, despite the horrific attacks on New York last September. But the essential point about it is that it’s a war on terror, not a war waged by terror. America has to be seen to have the upper hand, morally, for this “war” to have any kind of reasonable foundation. If their soldiers are committing war crimes then that can hardly be said to be the case, however much they may wish to avenge the insult and damage to their country. ——-
