Re: Worst terror attacks in history: Hiroshima and Nagasaki
UTD forget about the Koyote accord, tell me frankly, do you think anyone has the right to kill more than a 100,000 people (mostly civilians, kids, babies, old men, women) based on the “assumption” that they will not surrender. You must have read about the quality of American intelligence in WWII. Killing them with Nuclear bombs so that their coming generations will suffer as well?
If you say Yes to the above question, morally you have no right to say what these Terrorists are doing is wrong.

E&P SPECIAL REPORT: Hiroshima Cover-up Exposed
By Greg Mitchell, 1 August 2005
In the weeks following the atomic attacks on Japan almost 60 years ago, and then for decades afterward, the United States engaged in airtight suppression of all film shot in Hiroshima and Nagasaki after the bombings. This included footage shot by U.S. military crews and Japanese newsreel teams. In addition, for many years all but a handful of newspaper photographs were seized or prohibited.
… I was told by people in the Pentagon that they didn’t want those [film] images out because they showed effects on man, woman and child. … They didn’t want the general public to know what their weapons had done – at a time they were planning on more bomb tests. We didn’t want the material out because … we were sorry for our sins."
More recently, McGovern declared that Americans should have seen the damage wrought by the bomb. “The main reason it was classified was … because of the horror, the devastation,” he said. Because the footage shot in Hiroshima and Nagasaki was hidden for so long, the atomic bombings quickly sank, unconfronted and unresolved, into the deeper recesses of American awareness, as a costly nuclear arms race, and nuclear proliferation, accelerated.
The atomic cover-up also reveals what can happen in any country that carries out deadly attacks on civilians in any war and then keeps images of what occurred from its own people.
