Blowback: Villagers join al-Qaeda after deadly US strike
Submitted by Allegory on Thu, 12/27/2012 - 19:14DHAMAR, Yemen: A rickety truck packed with 14 people rumbled down a desert road from the town of Radda, which al-Qaeda militants once controlled. Suddenly a missile struck flipping the vehicle over. Then a second missile hit the truck.
Within seconds, 11 of the passengers were dead, including a woman and her seven-year-old daughter. A 12-year-old boy also died that day, and another man later died from his wounds.
The Yemeni government initially said that those killed were al-Qaeda militants and that its own Soviet-era jets carried out the September 2 attack. But last week US officials acknowledged for the first time that it was an American strike and that the victims were civilians.

The more that are driven toward the extremist stance, the more "justification" for the killing to expand, and continue.

Those who make peaceful revolution impossible will make violent revolution, inevitable.
Thanks Allegory
More evidence from the cables and Manning, and still they are ignored in favor of vilifying Manning himself.
Is America at large really that gullible? The answer seems obvious.
Just open the box and see
If you claim to be a constitutionalist
You are by default a member of al-CIA-duh.
Yes I know the wording is "potential" but that word is tossed out in the translation and you are at best guilty until proven guilty.
