Un. Fucking. Believable.

"The US Army killed my family and all I got was this lousy apology."

Holy fuck. We kill or maim 69 innocent people, and we think $2,000 in hush money is gonna make it all go bye-bye.

We make Sadaam look like fucking Mother Teresa.

69 Afghans' Families Get a U.S. Apology - washingtonpost.com

A U.S. Army brigade commander in Afghanistan yesterday told the families of 69 civilians who were killed or wounded by members of an elite Marine Special Forces unit in March that he is "deeply, deeply ashamed" about the incident, describing the series of shootings along a civilian thoroughfare as a "terrible, terrible mistake."

Col. John Nicholson said he apologized to a group of Afghan people in the eastern Nangahar province on behalf of the U.S. government and delivered solatia payments of approximately $2,000 to the families of 19 innocent civilians who died as a result of the March 4 attacks. Speaking to reporters at the Pentagon via a video feed from Afghanistan yesterday, Nicholson said the payments were "essentially a symbol of our sympathy to them" and "a way of expressing our genuine condolences over the incident occurring."
