Amnesty
International has released satellite pictures of "craters" in Syria,
citing : "an increased use of heavy weaponry, including near residential
areas".
The
BBC reports, quoting Amnesty: "Images from Anadan revealed more than 600
probable artillery impact craters from heavy fighting between Syrian armed
forces and armed opposition groups." (My emphasis.)
Further:
"Turning Syria's most populous city into a battlefield will have
devastating consequences for civilians. The atrocities in Syria are mounting
already," warned Christoph Koettl, emergency response manager for Amnesty
International USA, without acknowedging that the killings of civlians are
committed by the US-NATO Free Syrian Army (FSA) rather than the government.

Digital
Globe via Amnesty International "More than 600 probable artillery impact
craters,
represented
here with yellow dots, were identified in Anadan, in the vicinity of Aleppo,
according to Amnesty International."
"The
Syrian military and the opposition fighters must both adhere to international
humanitarian law, which strictly forbids the use of tactics and weapons that
fail to distinguish between military and civilian targets", he added.
Amnesty's
record on impartiality suffered a fatal blow when they stated in 1991 that
Iraqi soldiers had torn babies from their incubators in Kuwait and left them to
die on the floor of the hospital's neo-natal unit. Arguably this sealed the
1991 onslaught on Iraq. The story that the Kuwaiti government rewarded Amnesty
with $500,000 for endorsing this pack of lies has not gone away - and as far as
I am aware, to date, has not been denied.
Amnesty
suffered another own goal by organising a demonstration last year, outside the
London Syrian Embassy, with CAABU (Council for Arab British Understanding)
calling for the overthrow of the sovereign Syrian government. A plan which was
outlined by the US Embassy in Damascus in December 2005. This action arguably
falls under the definition of incitement to terrorism, set out by the UN
Security Council on 4th May 2012. (SC/10636.)
The
Syrian government is doing what any nation would do to defend its country when
attacked by terrorists, many from outside and many also with British accents,
according to recently escaped, kidnapped British and Dutch journalists.
However,
back to your 600 craters. The insurgents also seemingly have rocket propelled
grenades and have also boasted of capturing tanks with heavy weaponry. However
many craters or not, they will certainly be responsible for many and will not
have clean hands.
Further,
I do not seem to remember Amnesty blasting the British and Americans soldiers
for killing, raping, murdering whole families of Iraqis and Afghans, also
illegally invaded, who simply wanted their countries back, or were totally
innocent victims.
No
doubt the all is now directed by your new US Head, former top aide to Hilary
Clinton who seems to hate most of the world's non Western population,
especially those of the Middle East, or of predominantly Muslim heritage.
Amnesty
has moved a long way from its fine founding aims.
