Thanks to ZNet for republishing my post, 'Warriors of Disinformation: Canada, Afghanistan, and the Fake Olympic Truce.' The photo above was taken at the 'Vancouver 2010 Olympic Truce' display at the Vancouver Public Library, February 19, 2010. A report today confirms at least 28 civilians have died as part of NATO's propaganda/counterinsurgency campaign, Operation Mushtarak, in Helmand. Another 27 civilians were killed in an airstrike Monday near Uruzgan’s border with Day Kundi province. Meanwhile, thousands of Afghans are reported to be fleeing Marjah, the focal point of the Op Mushtarak offensive. And the Olympic 'truce' continues. More to come on this soon...
