what you guys may not see, which we are unfortunately able to see, is the complete lack of discipline in the BDR HQ in the investigation. journoes are freely walking about through the officers houses and halls where killings took place. i am a bit bewildered, because they show the CSI’s here, you would think people would know not to disturb or contaminate a crime scene.

also, the blame game began in earnest this morning…

this thing is going to get swept under, it is sad, and heartbreaking, lots of people died aimlessly and horribly, all day yesterday and today you can hear the special prayers mosques do after a person dies. i think as they are finding the bodies, they are trying to bury them as quickly as possible. as days go by, and more and more people are found, we are hearing of people we know or knowof whose immediate relatives were in there, and have been found dead.

life does not seem to have the same value as in the western world. the world should be horrified that this many people were killed in this fashion in a country which just got a democratically elected government not 2 months ago.

btw, kudos to you for writing the post, it is a shame there hasn’t been more of an interest.

check out the link via my name to photos on flickr. whereas i was a bit respectful of the tanks rolling by (having seen the damage they can do without even shooting shells)and did not want to draw attention to myself with a big ole camera, the 100′s of people who thronged the streets and were running along or touching them while they were stationed by the BDR HQ did not quite have the same sensibilities!

In more recent news, another two grave/ditches have been found with a total of 10 bodies. I believe this brings the number of bodies found to be about 72 with dozens still missing. The news outlets have revealed very little of what has gone on and the number of stories and rumours that are circulating has subsequently grown. I hope half of what I’ve heard isn’t true.

Thank you, Cicatrix, for blogging this. I will continue to follow the mutiny and its aftermath.

I agree–the relative lack of interest in this does call into question the “south asian” heuristic.

Rob, please drop it. We aren’t going to change. Don’t give trolls an excuse to divert even more attention from this issue, with your comment.

FYI- a lack of comments on a post is not indicative of a lack of interest or concern. If any of you pay attention to other threads, when people delurk, they often say, “I never commented because I didn’t have anything to add.” The vast majority of our readers DO NOT COMMENT. Please do not draw erroneous conclusions from this fact.
