      The Intercept story might explain this, then? https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/pentagon-plans-cut-support-cias-counterterrorism-missions/story?id=74641591 …

      “Why isn’t a report that’s two years old from one of the least-trusted news sources in the world getting more attention when the entire premise of the article has recently been nullified?” is a question only Jeet would ask.

      Two years old? It came out last Friday.

      The events it describes are from two years ago. It’s in the second sentence, “It was December 2018.” It alleges such events continued, but it’s still talking about something that Afghani operators did two years ago.

      My Lai massacre was was a year and a half old before first major coverage (by Seymour Hersh) which had to run in minor news syndicate because big magazines & newspapers didn't want to touch. So by your logic, Hersh's story should have been ignored.

      My logic includes the Intercept being almost entirely unreliable, son.

      That's what establishment apologists said about Hersh.

      Good to hear you think the My Lai massacre never happened.

          Come on, man. Everyone knows William Calley was convicted of the massacre, which invoked about ten times as many victims as are alleged here. I’ve conceded the Intercept was correct based on corroborating stories, but his and my point is that everyone should double-check.
