First Piece Published!

It's official: A piece I wrote for FAIR Blog that was published today. I worked on it most of this week, and here is a preview of it! (the first two paragraphs)

While media are  paying scant attention to the Bradley Manning trial this week, another court-martial this week deserves more coverage as well.

In a courtroom base near Tacoma, Washington, Army Staff Sergeant Robert Bales will plead guilty today to killing 16 civilians–most of them women and children–in an Afghan village on March 11, 2012. Bales will give his first account of the attack under oath as part of the hearing, in order to avoid the death penalty (New York Times, 6/05/13). The incident remains one of the most shocking slaughters of civilians in the Afghan War.  The massacre received some media attention at the time, though much of that discussion was about the problems it would pose for the U.S. war there.
