"Guinea killings reportedly planned; Not work of rogue troops, group says" by Elaine Ganley, Associated Press | December 18, 2009
PARIS - The killing of pro- democracy demonstrators by Guinean troops in September appears to have been premeditated, then covered up in organized fashion, and was not the work of rogue soldiers, Human Rights Watch said in a report released yesterday.
So when is Human Rights Watch going to tackle 9/11?
The killings and rapes probably amount to crimes against humanity, the watchdog group concluded after an on-the-ground investigation.

Yeah, it SURE DOES LOOK THAT WAY when WESTERN WAR CRIMES go unaddressed and WESTERN WAR CRIMINALS like BUSH and BLIAR freely wander the earth.
A 108-page report on the Sept. 28 massacre in a sports stadium provides a description of how it unfolded and detailed accounts of particularly gruesome forms of rape and other sexual abuse.
I don't want o doubt this occurred; however, I don't know what to believe anymore.
The report concludes that members of the elite Presidential Guard headed by Lieutenant Abubakar “Toumba’’ Diakite, top aide to the military junta’s president, were responsible for the massacre, as has been widely reported. Among others considered responsible by Human Rights Watch are elite gendarmes under the command of Captain Moussa Tiegboro Camara.
Junta chief Moussa “Dadis’’ Camara was rushed to Morocco for medical treatment after being shot by Toumba in a Dec. 3 dispute. The former presidential guard admitted from his hiding place to shooting the head of the junta in an interview Wednesday with Radio France Internationale, asserting that there was a “betrayal of democracy’’ by the president who tried to blame him for the massacre.
So "Toumba" is OUR MAN, 'eh?
The nongovernmental organization said the gendarme chief also is being treated in Morocco after being wounded in a separate episode of military infighting. That information could not be independently confirmed.
“The serious abuses carried out in Guinea on Sept. 28 were clearly not the actions of a group of rogue, undisciplined soldiers, as the Guinean government contends,’’ Human Rights Watch’s emergencies director, Peter Bouckaert, said in a statement. “They were premeditated and top-level leaders must at the very least have been aware of what was being planned, our investigation shows.’’
Oh, like U.S. TORTURE, HRW?!
Human Rights Watch says it interviewed about 240 victims, witnesses, military, medical staff, diplomats, and others. The report said that shortly before 11:30 a.m. on the day of the massacre, several hundred troops from the Presidential Guard along with gendarmes on the antidrug and organized crime squad, some antiriot police and dozens of militiamen in civilian dress entered the stadium and took posts on the edge and near exits.
Tear gas was fired, causing panic, and security forces then stormed the stadium, firing into the crowd. The report said numerous witnesses spoke of “spraying the crowd from left to right.’’
Groups of soldiers covered the area, some heading down the playing field, some into stands while others blocked exits. “Witnesses described how the panicked demonstrators were gunned down as they attempted to scale the stadium wall; shot point blank after being caught hiding in tunnels, bathrooms, and under seats; and mowed down after being baited by disingenuous soldiers offering safe passage,’’ the report said.
Governments suck!
The organization estimated the number of deaths at 150 to 200, compared with an official figure of 57. It said that hospital and other records confirm more than 1,400 wounded. The report described particularly gruesome accounts of rapes, gang rapes, and sexual assaults “with objects such as sticks, rifle butts, and bayonets.’’
I think I'm going to be sick.
Researchers interviewed 28 victims of such violence, the organization said. Women were “cornered or chased down’’ as they fled gunfire. At least four victims were murdered during or after being raped, it said.
I'm speechless at such horror.

Isn't that ALWAYS the WAY!!!
