This morning on the BBC I read this story, which briefly reports on a US drone strike reportedly killing six in Pakistan. There’s no explanation of why the US attacked.
I’m reading Camilo Mejia’s Road From Ar Ramadi, and was struck by how Mejia’s experience confirms contemporaneous reporting on Iraq and serves to confirm my move to Germany in 2002. The US dirty wars are now a continuous sort of background, free of mention let alone question in the US mainstream media.
