Exposing the Truth on the Occupation and the Cover Ups

  • War Crimes and Accountability:
    Excerpt from the Guardian: Rachel Reid, who investigates civilian casualty incidents in Afghanistan for Human Rights Watch, said: "These files bring to light what's been a consistent trend by US and Nato forces: the concealment of civilian casualties.
