The main stream media both liberal and conservative is corporate owned , it rarely reports on it.

People have been protesting but there is more important items for the corporate media to cover like the trial of Casey and the murder of her toddler.

Not as many as in Iraq, clearly, and none that have been shot in the head with weapons you and I paid for.

To find out anything, especially what has not been censored by the corporate run media you have to look on the internet

This is hilarious
Quote:
After the firefight ended, Alston wrote, the "troops entered the house, handcuffed all residents and executed all of them. After the initial MNF intervention, a U.S. air raid ensued that destroyed the house."
The cell phone picture shows no physical damage to the bodies of being inside a house destroyed by an air strike.

Use some common sense people..

I'm sure the anti-military anti-American crowd will come out of the woodwork on this one....

Here are some anti war protests that have been going on
Uh Oh: Look at the Welcome Obama Received at the American Legion Convention | War Is A Crime .org recently
There has been a lot in D.C. but the corporate news media does not find it to be news worthy.

There are marches and protests at the White House with many people getting arrested all the time but the corporate media never reports on it.

Here are some pictures I took at a march to the White House back in April that I was involved with where 27 people got arrested, we had a police escort plenty of on lookers as we marched from Columbus Circle to the White House but I doubt that any of the corporate news media reported on it.
