"This NYT report on the cover-up of U.S. war crimes in Syria should make your blood boil," says codepink's medeabenjamin. "The U.S. wantonly kills civilians, covers it up, and then tells other countries how 'democracy' works. Infuriating."

I don't know if I'm more mad at media for covering it up or for Biden who ordered it and pretends it never happened.

Do not expect Pentagon or any highrankinng US officials make an apology for this or ever be hel accountable.

'Infuriating' Report Reveals 'Breathtaking Cover-Up' of US Airstrike That Killed Syrian Civilians

"This NYT report on the cover-up of U.S. war crimes in Syria should make your blood boil. The U.S. wantonly kills civilians, covers it up, and then tells other countries how 'democracy' works."

Advocacy groups, human rights defenders, fellow reporters, and other readers of The New York Times were outraged Saturday after journalists Dave Philipps and Eric Schmitt published their investigation into a deadly 2019 U.S. airstrike in Syria and all that followed.

"This NYT report on the cover-up of U.S. war crimes in Syria should make your blood boil," Medea Benjamin, co-founder of the anti-war group CodePink, tweeted Sunday. "The U.S. wantonly kills civilians, covers it up, and then tells other countries how 'democracy' works. Infuriating."

Evan Hill, a journalist on the Times' visual investigations team, said that "this is a long, complicated story, but it's one that touches on nearly every problem with the global U.S. air war. At every attempt, the military tried to cover it up."
