Photo-Op Executions?

Just when I thought it was safe to go out for the evening..criminy.

The Independent is reporting that the alleged killing of seven Pakistani 'terrorists' in Macedonia in March of 2004 was staged to win U.S. support. Macedonia has been a staunch U.S. ally in the global war on terrorism. At least that's the image that has been portrayed.

The seven Pakistani men are now reported to have been illegal immigrants lured into Macedonia by promises that they would be transferred to Western Europe.

There are many facets to the global war on terror.

One facet that we rarely hear about is that the "WoT" has been rightfully seen as a green light for governments to commit state terrorism against groups within, and outside their borders with whom they have a grievance.

There is a lot more color at the link.
