Why Is the U.S. Refusing an Independent Investigation If Its Hospital Airstrike Was an “Accident”?
Those who already “know” that this was all a terrible mistake, that no U.S. personnel would ever purposely call for a strike on a hospital even if they thought there were Taliban inside, should be the ones most eager for the most credible investigation possible.
![(151017) -- KABUL, Oct. 17, 2015 (Xinhua) -- Staff members of the Medecin Sans Frontieres (MSF) hospital investigate the building destroyed in a U.S. airstrike in Kunduz city, capital of northern Kunduz province of Afghanistan, Oct. 17, 2015. With the United States not releasing any findings of its investigation almost two weeks after the deadly U.S. airstrike on a Afghan hospital, the international medical aid agency Doctors Without Borders had launched a global petition to urge the White House to consent to an independent investigation.

The Radically Changing Story of the U.S. Airstrike on Afghan Hospital: From Mistake to Justification
We now have U.S. and Afghan officials expressly justifying the consummate war crime: deliberately attacking a hospital filled with doctors, nurses, and wounded patients. And whatever else is true, the story of what happened here has been changing rapidly as facts emerge proving the initial claims to be false.

CNN and the NYT Are Deliberately Obscuring Who Perpetrated the Afghan Hospital Attack
From the start, not even the U.S. military had the audacity to try to obscure that they did this. They left that dirty work to their leading media outlets, which, as usual, are more than eager and happy to comply.

One Day After Warning Russia of Civilian Casualties, the U.S. Bombs a Hospital in Afghanistan
The medical charity running the hospital says the U.S. was repeatedly advised of its location. This horrific strike comes days after the Saudi-led coalition bombed a wedding in Yemen that killed more than 130 people.

U.S. Bombs Somehow Keep Falling in the Places Where Obama “Ended Two Wars”
Whatever else one wants to say about Iraq and Afghanistan, one cannot honestly say that Obama ended the wars in those countries. The U.S. continues to drop bombs on both, deploys soldiers in both, kills civilians in both, and engages in a wide range of overt and covert force, all without a shred of Congressional approval.
