Massacre in Uzbekistan
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.
