I Think He Means The Invasion Of Afghanistan

Although that and torture are perfectly in keeping with “western values.”

I guess I’d have to know what he means by “western values.” Because apparently he means occupying a country militarily until there’s a Starbucks in every village and even the contractors’ wildest dreams of avarice are sated.

Which is pretty much in keeping with western values, whether you like it or not.

    I think that front line war correspondents (some of whom don't seem to spend much time anywhere near battles) tend to burn out or sell out. I think Chris Hedges seriously burned out, he was the first one who made me suspect it was an occupational hazard. Richard Engel just spent any respect I might have had for him. He won't be getting it back soon if ever.
