First the generic word Taliban. Which translates, if I’ve got the wording right, according to the State Department, “soldier”. More or less. Then “blamed for”. Is that a tacit admission that they’re catching the rap but not in fair measure?
Then there’s the notion that the “Taliban” in general and al Qa’eda in particular have been driven far from civilian population centers. So that’s two conflicting if not Mutually Exclusive stories being told by the same party, the Koalition of the Killing.
At its most blunt, its an admission that they’re losing, in the first part, and that they were covering it up with a blanket of lies about having the Taliban driven far away from the civilians.

Then there are the Wikileaks files. Which tell a third tale, by the Same Party, Koalition of the Killing, in what they thought were Secret communications.
By the way, Free the Hero Bradley Manning!!
Aside from that, there’s an old Baptist adage provided by some Old Baptists who i happen to know.
If you don’t want people to find out what you’re doing, don’t tell anybody.

There’s a really sad story you hear a lot from people convicted of felonies. “My accomplice snitched me off to get a good deal from the DA.”

The more serious the crime, like say, War Crimes, and the more often it’s committed, and the more accomplices you have… then the more people will want to find out who is responsible for those crimes, and will be snooping around. Usually armed with subpoenas and warrants but ALWAYS armed with well, Arms.

Cases that involve human deaths and especially the deaths of Children tend to draw a LOT more attention.

Now, the way the Army and Co. set up their communications and storage of those communications is critical to their relative success at doing their crimes.
The bigger the Army, the more records, the more copies of Accomplices ratting each other out, only, in a system where they’re ratting each other out to each other and the evidence stored by their own Criminal Organization to help figure out what happened when their Criminal Organization loses its collective rosie-red Arse.

Such as what’s happening now in Greater VietRaqiStan. I can’t help but believe that quite a few people in the Pentagoons actually DID know right from wrong, they KNEW that the tactic of Might Makes Right ALWAYS has backfired, they KNEW they were telling lies… because other than them having this certain knowledge of what they were doing, and why it is WRONG, you would have to have a couple of million complete Airheads running the Weapons storage and utilizations system known as the Military, and… the largest one on the face of the Earth.

Dumb, or lying. Not much of a choice, is it?
