For several days the lead story on the BBC's The World Today has been
about the massacre in Andijan, Uzbekistan. Short version: thousands
gathered in the center of town to protest the arrest of the town's major
business leaders on terrorism charges; crowd got restless, soldiers
fired on them. Anywhere from 300 to 1000 innocent civilians died, but we
don't know for sure since the Uzbek govt has sealed off the area and has
forbidden journalists from going there. Anecdotal reports tell of trucks
filled with bodies, of school gyms piled high with bodies. Why is this
important to Americans? The Uzbek govt is a strong ally of the US, and
America has a big base in the country to supply our guys in Afghanistan.
Is it just coincidence that coverage of all this in the US domestic
media has been limited? Why does the Bu****e US media want to protect
the US public from the fact that we support a regime that has just
murdered hundreds of its own people in the name of fighting terror?
While Bush cruises towards an anti-American revolution in Uzbekistan
that will severely hinder our ability to fight Al Qaeda, the American
public is kept in the dark. Meanwhile, the Uzbeks are vowing revenge.
Stay tuned...
