Physicians for Human Rights has issued a call for a criminal probe in the wake of a major New York Times story by James Risen with new evidence that the Bush Administration impeded at least three federal investigations into alleged war crimes in Afghanistan in 2002.

PHR is calling for the Department of Justice to investigate why the Bush Administration impeded an FBI criminal probe of the alleged Dasht-e-Leili massacre.

According to US government documents obtained by PHR, as many as 2,000 surrendered Taliban fighters were reportedly suffocated in container trucks by Afghan forces operating jointly with the US in November 2001. The bodies were reportedly buried in mass graves in the Dasht-e-Leili desert near Sheberghan, Afghanistan. Notorious Afghan warlord General Abdul Rashid Dostum, who was reportedly on the CIA payroll, is allegedly responsible for the massacre.

Only people who cut and paste post after post can be deperate!

At the end of the day, you have nothing much to add or say except cut and paste. desperate times require desperate measures I guess.

Anti Iran Shah Gholam,

No media in the world like American and British media gives hard time to their government. We all remember the circus they made about Guantanamo and Abu Ghreib. So if they’re always covering up, how come they created these two stories? At a time when there are 1000 much-much-worst-than Guantanamos in Iran, Cuba, China, N Korea and elsewhere which no media in those countries or elsewhere talk about, Guanatanamo suddenly became the headline on every newspaper in the world! If that’s not hypocrisy, I don’t know what is!

 

All that you delusional Shah Gholam, and we all know why you’re mad at the media. Because the media, for the 1st time, unlike your claims, exposed your IRI regime’s brutality and let the Iranian people, a forgotten people, be heard. That’s why you and your Fascist regime blame BBC for what you guys call a “coup”!!

 

Shah Gholam, all that is a sign of desperation. We all can see the end of your regime and you do too. But looks like you lost your mind because of that! We understand dear!

 

We want to thank all media that finally did its job and exposed the regime and let the Iranian voice be heard. Thank you all.

 

Death to IRI.
