""The hospital was repeatedly and precisely hit during each aerial raid, while the rest of the compound was left mostly untouched.""Doesn't sound like an accident.
"So the US government is now planning to conduct its own investigation, which means constructing the plausible deniability narrative necessary to undercut whatever comes out of an impartial scrutinizing of the massacre."Cover up. More.
The US keeps changing the story about attacking the hospital, now trying to justify it.
"To begin with, the organization had repeatedly advised the U.S. military of the exact GPS coordinates of the hospital. They did so most recently on September 29, just five days before the strike. Beyond that, MSF personnel at the facility “frantically” called U.S. military officials during the strike to advise them that the hospital was being hit and to plead with them to stop, but the strikes continued in a “sustained” manner for 30 more minutes. "That's hardly an accident.
"Even cynical critics of the U.S. have a hard time believing that the U.S. military would deliberately target a hospital with an airstrike (despite how many times the U.S. has destroyed hospitals with airstrikes). But in this case, there is long-standing tension between the Afghan military and this specific MSF hospital, grounded in the fact that the MSF – true to its name – treats all wounded human beings without first determining on which side they fight. That they provide medical treatment to wounded civilians and Taliban fighters alike has made them a target before.Let's hope somebody pays.
In July – just 3 months ago – Reuters reported that Afghan special forces “raided” this exact MSF hospital in Kunduz, claiming an Al Qaeda member was a patient."
