Sample coverage if the Afghan hospital bombing:
The Radically Changing Story of the U.S. Airstrike on Afghan Hospital: From Mistake to Justification Intercept (resilc). Important.
Afghan Forces Asked US Special Forces on the Ground in Kunduz To Call In Strike on Médecins Sans Frontières Marcy Wheeler
The U.S. Gunship that Slaughtered Doctors and Patients in Kunduz Daily Beast (furzy mouse)
CNN and the NYT Are Deliberately Obscuring Who Perpetrated the Afghan Hospital Attack Intercept (resilc)
Afghan Doctor Slaughter Pulls Back Curtain Consortium News (Judy B)
It all paints a picture of probability: A direct intentional hit. It also reveals a scramble to cover it up and minimize potential collateral damage done by truth as a weapon of destruction.
Can't wait to see the official report!
Makes me wonder.
No doubt about what Doctors Without Borders is and does. Little doubt about what a hospital is and does. Little doubt about the status of the Red Cross in war. It is not morally/legally (war crime) a target to attack.
An investigation will put US forces between a rock and a hard place.
Good. But who will be the scapegoat to twist in the wind?
Keep an eye on this one.
