GUN CAMERA FOOTAGE ; U.S. 'KILLING FIELDS' - AFGHANISTAN

Dear Madam, Sir or colleague,

While covering a couple of wars in my 40 years as a foreign correspondent, I often wondered : Do the people I work for really want to know, see and hear reality ? How the world also is "pacified" by the Armed Forces of the United States, some 'fellow-travellers and it's few bullied and bribed "Allies" ?

The FPF reluctantly offers a revolting little piece of "Gun camera"-footage from US pilots in Afghanistan, which also is used as an instruction film. Defenitely this way of murdering human beings in a kind of "turkey- shooting", is absolutely NOT "fighting terrorism", but breeding it !

The US-Government and its few "Allies" are turning themselves and most of their friends into 'untouchables', the pariah's of the world !

There are two URL's and the file is 149 MB, so it may take a minute or two to download the file, of which the first also gives technical information :

The second URL for the US 'Killing Fields' reality :

What you see is according to international law a war crime, but do judge for yourself pls. : there's NO fair trial; they are just killing human beings !

What would you do, if strangers are killing, and keep trying to kill, you and your family ? You see ? I know too, because as a correspondent - from Vietnam to the Gulf and M-East - I've seen some wars.

And as a Dutchman, I'm utterly ashamed about those Dutch governments supporting this 'Gunship-diplomacy' - which has turned to terrorism - on a global scale.

This is not Foreign Policy or 'Fighting Terrorism',
it's BREEDING it !

The FPF makes it a point of distinguishing between the governments, about which we are often very critical, and the People of a country !
