Hiroshima.  Nagasaki. (The US remains the only country
that has actually used nuclear weapons in war,
incinerating entire civilian populations in the
process and condemning countless others to slow,
painful death as a result of radiation exposure.)

Trials of nuclear, chemical, biological weapons on its
own, unsupecting people, during the Cold War.  Not to
mention depleted uranium ammunition in the Gulf War
and elsewhere, more recently.

Osama bin Laden and many, many others. In our own
backyard, US support for Central American paramilitary
death squads equals support for terrorist groups, too.
 The US has a poor record in this regard in Indonesia,
too, just to mention a name that is, tragically, in
the news.  The US has supported groups that merit the
label "terrorist" around the world for a half-century
at least.

Couldn't agree more.

Regime change in the US, now!

" [...] The consequences of the U.S. military's weak
war crimes doctrine were apparent in Afghanistan. U.S.
Special Forces and CIA officers were actively involved
in the battle to wrest the city of Kunduz from the
Taliban, and they participated in the surrender
negotiations. U.S. military and intelligence personnel
interviewed the captured fighters at Sheberghan prison
and other detention facilities, selecting some for
further investigation at a U.S. detention facility at
Guantanamo Bay. But they left virtually all other
responsibility for the Taliban POWs in the Northern
Alliance's hands.
The result was an atrocity. Northern Alliance
commanders allied with Gen. Abdul Rashid Dostum packed
the surrendered Taliban members into closed container
trucks, where hundreds died of suffocation. Thousands
of surviving POWs were crammed into prison cells
designed to hold one-tenth the number. Water for 3,000
men came from a single rusty spigot, sanitation was
grossly inadequate and food and medical care were
minimal. Deaths from dysentery and exposure were
common.
In the Afghan theater, the Northern Alliance fighters
were agents of the United States. Until the Americans
resurrected it, the alliance was a spent force
sequestered in less than 10% of Afghan territory. But
with American air power, financing, intelligence,
equipment, training and direction -- and U.S. Special
Forces at its side -- the Northern Alliance defeated
the Taliban.
The U.S. did not delegate to the Northern Alliance the
task of winning the war against the Taliban. It did,
apparently, delegate responsibility in one realm:
complying with Geneva Convention obligations to treat
captured combatants humanely.
If ever a fighting force was more unsuited to the
task, it was the Northern Alliance warriors, with
their 20-year history of executing surrendered or
captured combatants, and torturing, raping and killing
noncombatants. [...] "
