A network of CIA-run death squads has been marauding through Afghanistan, pulling children from schools and summarily executing them, a new investigation by The Intercept has found. The story, by Andrew Quilty, is centered in Wardak Province, just south of Kabul, and uncovers a series of previously unreported massacres carried out by joint American and Afghan forces.
The horror of My Lai was compounded by the cover up (Seymour Hersh). The silence with the Wardak story is deafening.
In some ways, sitting and listening to the staccato voices seeking a wider band and wisdom perhaps.
