Imnclady says:

This film is very controversial as it alleges American war crimes in Afghanistan. The producer in an interview claims that the Pentagon, State Department and US media have done their best to keep this film from Americans. Two of the Afghan witnesses interviewed in this film have since been murdered.

I'm going to watch some of this...just wanted to hurry up and clip to post for everyone.

"Afghan Massacre" has outraged human rights groups and international human rights lawyers.  They are calling for investigation into whether U.S. Special Forces are guilty of war crimes.

                  The film tells the story of thousands of prisoners who surrendered to the U.S. military's Afghan allies after the siege of Kunduz.  According to eyewitnesses, some three thousand of the prisoners were forced into sealed containers and loaded onto trucks for transport to Sheberghan prison.  Eyewitnesses say when the prisoners began shouting for air, U.S.-allied Afghan soldiers fired directly into the truck, killing many of them.  </blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://www.freedocumentaries.org/film.php?id=37">These witnesses say US Special Forces re-directed the containers carrying the living and dead into the desert and stood by as survivors of the ordeal were shot and buried.
