Malalai Joya Kill teams in Afghanistan
I must report that Afghans do not believe this to be
a story of a few rogue soldiers. We believe that the brutal actions
of these "kill teams" reveal the aggression and racism which is part
and parcel of the entire military occupation.

Here's
one soldier who told the truth about this war
Joe
Glenton might have escaped arrest if he'd been prepared to keep his
opposition to the war quiet, rather than speak about his experience
openly....as a soldier, he's not supposed to air an opinion about
the war.....every week there are reports in which soldiers tell us
we're slowly winning....none of them get court-martialled....the real
crime wasn't to voice an opinion, but to voice the wrong opinion.

else is thinking. I heard that from several people".

Clare Glenton:
Holding
firm to a moral obligation
I
realise that while Joe stands to lose his liberty for nothing more than
fulfilling his legal and moral duty, the people of Afghanistan have lost
and will continue to lose much more as long as this occupation
continues. They are victims of terrible crimes.

Glenton's Letter To The Prime Minister
The war in Afghanistan is not reducing the
terrorist risk, far from improving Afghan lives it is bringing death and
devastation to their country. Britain has no business there.
