WikiLeaks and Afghanistan

Yesterday, Wikileaks released 90,000 pages of classified U.S. military material
documenting 2004-2009 of the ongoing occupation of Afghanistan.

Surprise, surprise,
things are not going so well over there.

The U.S. has killed lots of civilians, many more than admitted,
the Taliban is stronger than ever before,
Pakistan and Iran are involved,
and the U.S. government, the same U.S. government that last week
barely saw fit to extend unemployment benefits,
has spent over $300 billion in Afghanistan.

War crimes, waste, corruption, and insanity.

So all this obviously means the U.S. gets out ASAP, right?

(Glenn Greenwald has more information plus links to why WikiLeaks is secret government’s Enemy #1
and further analysis of the released documents).

Not a great way to start the week, I know,
but very necessary.
