[Peace-discuss] Code Pink: Rebuild the bombed hospital in Kunduz! to Senate Armed Services Cmte, *tomorrow*, Oct 6th

[C. G. Estabrook]

Nonsense. As your technical analysis shows, it was a conscious decision by the US military who knew perfectly well what they were targeting. 

The US has done similar things form Belgrade to Fallujah. Manning is in prison for revealing how it’s done. 

Typical US war crimes. “Set up,” my eye….

That still causes terrible destruction and death, but it is not bombing.  It also is much more highly targeted and several passes would have been made.   The AC-130 circles the target and fires the cannon while circling.  That accounts for eyewitness account I just saw on ABC news that there were repeated air attacks.

Twelve staff members and at least seven patients, including three children, were killed; 37 people were injured, including 19 staff members. This attack constitutes a grave violation of International Humanitarian Law, and we refuse to allow this to be dismissed as “collateral damage.” Bombing a hospital is a war crime.
