But the whistlebower, who has spoken out against the atrocities in which he participated, says the whole platoon knew about it and didn't think there was anything wrong.

22-year-old Private Bradley Manninghas is facing decades in prison for leaking secret US military video and files that show the reality of nine years war in Iraq and Afghanistan. 
Solomon Hughes says, desperate to rescue a failing war in Afghanistan, the US military is recycling its "hearts-minds-and-body-parts" strategy from the Vietnam war. 
They’re calling me a terrorist
Palestinians from besieged Gaza call on folk music icon Pete Seeger not to legitimise apartheid by performing in an online concert organised by Israeli ethnic cleansers. 
The US commander in Afghanistan says burning the Quran could endanger the lives of US troops but why is it less civilised than drone attacks killing civilians?
