How To Turn A Murdered Civilian Into A Dead Insurgent

[jpeyton]

Video

Numerous soldiers who served in Iraq testify to the existence of "drop weapons" or "drop objects"; things that can turn a dead civilian into a dead insurgent. An AK-47, a set of wires, etc. I posted a story a while back about a sniper who was convicted of planting evidence on a dead civilian, so we already know this practice exists. But this video really opens your eyes to how widespread this really is.

Something to keep in mind next time the next military raid turns up dead "insurgents".

This is old news, as of like... 3 years ago.

Every military report of "insurgents eliminated" should be taken with a grain of salt, since more than a couple have ended up being "wedding party blown to bits" or "house cleared. civillian casualties noted."

Of course, so many people are willing to suck the juicy invigorating PR spin through a straw, to the point where they lose the ability to critically question the day-to-day operations the American public is sold as successes in the global war on TERRISM.

It would be funny if it wasn't so disturbing and relevant to current events.

It is funny, and in a situation where people are fighting a war against the populace, which is what is happening since there is no "army" to fight, but insurgents that use civilians as cover. Civilians are going to die, and with media cameras everywhere hoping to put the next Butcher of Baghdad on the 6 o'clock news, things like this are going to happen.

War is hell, shit happens and people die.
