We are being lied to over Afghanistan says senior US army man

Posted on April 14, 2012

US Army Lieutenant Colonel Daniel Davis:

Senior ranking US military leaders have so distorted the truth when communicating with the US Congress and American people in regards to conditions on the ground in Afghanistan that the truth has become unrecognizable.

  • During my recent #Australian book tour for my new @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’, I was photographed by the great @simonschluter for the #SydneyMorningHerald and #MelbourneAge for an article about drug testing welfare recipients (#crazyidea). These are the images from that shoot. I rarely post photos of myself so thanks to Simon for the images (and the man himself at the end showing off his fine lens). #portrait #journalism #melbourne

  • A huge event in #Melbourne this week around my new @scribepub book, ‘Pills, Powder and Smoke: Inside the Bloody War on Drugs’. 600 people attended to hear a variety of speakers from politicians, journalists, lawyers, policy makers, advocates for drug reform to a former head of the federal police. Plus me. Held in the majestic #Melbourne town hall and organized by Drug Policy Australia, the sheer number of people proves yet again that the status quo around illicit drugs must end. There’s a growing call to legalize and regulate drugs. Speakers included @fionapattenmp Greg Barns, Mick Palmer @taniadejongam Jon Faine & Laura Turner.
