From: "Lysander Zimmerman" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Subject: [R-G] Dossier on Civilian Victims of US Bombing: A Comprehensive Accounting SOMETHING TO PASS AROUND Dossier on Civilian Victims of United States' Aerial Bombing of Afghanistan: A Comprehensive Accounting by Professor Marc W. Herold 10:44am Sat Jan 5 '02 http://www.cursor.org/stories/civilian_deaths.htm When U.S. warplanes strafed [with AC-130 gunships] the farming village of Chowkar-Karez, 25 miles north of Kandahar on October 22-23rd, killing at least 93 civilians, a Pentagon official said, "the people there are dead because we wanted them dead." The reason? They sympathized with the Taliban. When asked about the Chowkar incident, Rumsfeld replied, "I cannot deal with that particular village." A Dossier on Civilian Victims of United States' Aerial Bombing of Afghanistan: A Comprehensive Accounting "What causes the documented high level of civilian casualties -- 3,767 [thru December 6, 2001] civilian deaths in eight and a half weeks -- in the U.S. air war upon Afghanistan? The explanation is the apparent willingness of U.S. military strategists to fire missiles into and drop bombs upon, heavily populated areas of Afghanistan."
