Iraqi/the U.S

Blake
"The men were taken away and the women were screaming and crying, and I just remember thinking: this was exactly what Saddam used to do - and now we're doing it."
He tells us that he witnessed civilian Iraqis being killed indiscriminately. It would not be the most startling admission by the soldiers on the march.
the practice was - to basically shoot up the landscape, anything that moved. And that kind of thing would happen a lot." So innocent people were killed? "It happened, yes." (He says he did not carry out any such killings himself.)

"And I ran over a little kid and killed him ... and that's about it."

What kind of abuses did he witness? "Well, I mean, I have seen innocent people being killed. IEDs go off and [you] just zap any farmer that is close to you. You know, those people were out there trying to make a living, but on the other hand, you get hit by four or five of those IEDs and you get pretty tired of that, too."
claims the pervasive atmosphere was that "you could basically kill whoever you wanted - it was that easy. You did not even have to get off and dig a hole or anything. All you had to do was have some kind of picture. You're driving down the road at three in the morning. There's a guy on the side of the road, you shoot him ... you throw a shovel off."GuardianMarch 29, 2006

イラクの帰還兵が戦争に反対している。その有様は地獄。狂気。
虐殺について多く書いてきましたが、いままさに進行中の虐殺の模様です。
第3国による委員会や報道機関によるチェックをとかつて書きましたが、そんなものは現実場慣れしているのですかね。
もっと早く真実の報道があってよかったと思いますが、今現在進行中の虐殺に関してはとにかくはやく対処して欲しいとしかいいようがありません。
