War crimes in Afghanistan

Please go to the link below to read the story:




Carlotta Gall has written an important and well researched book on the American war in Afghanistan. She covered the war as a New York Times reporter from 1999 to 2009 and won a Pulitzer Prize.

For me, the most shocking part of the book were the details of the innocent civilians killed in American air strikes that were not necessary or completely disproportionate to the threat that the enemy posed.
