I have read hundreds of reports on the war on terror. But this article in The Guardian, about the US running a terrorist training camp in its own backyard in Georgia, changes my whole perception of the war.
The article tells me that this school of terror has produced alumni who are responsible for more killings than what America witnessed on September 11.
So what can we do about this? I will quote from the article: "Well, we could urge our governments to apply full diplomatic pressure, and to seek the extradition of the school's commanders for trial on charges of complicity in crimes against humanity. Alternatively, we could demand that our governments attack the United States, bombing its military installations, cities and airports in the hope of overthrowing its unelected government and replacing it with a new administration overseen by the UN. In case this proposal proves unpopular with the American people, we could win their hearts and minds by dropping naan bread and dried curry in plastic bags stamped with the Afghan flag."
