Bullets were falling like rain
I've been waiting for this [HWR's website update] since it [news of the report] first appeared in Pravda and the Turkish press yesterday. Human Rights Watch has published a report on the killing of unarmed protesters by the Uzbek government in Andijan last month. The report is here.
It doesn't support the claims of the Karimov regime -- a death toll was 173 people — law enforcement officials and civilians killed by the attackers, along with the attackers themselves, or the claims of the Bush regime -- symmetric equivalent actors that should exercise mutual restraint, and shadowy connections to the Bush adventure in Iraq.
It looks like the mass death will go over one thousand, closer to the Hizb ut-Tahrir's assertions on the core facts than the Karimov/Bush regimes. Coordinated kill zones, executions of wounded, everything a vampire could hope for.
