The military has confessed that a drone strike intended for ISIS actually killed 10 innocents, including women and children. This was an egregious act of negligence, yet nobody appears to be being held accountable. PLUS: Milley defends his calls with China, in which he pledged to alert them in advance if Trump was going to attack. Biden calls the climate crisis "an opportunity for economic growth." Stunning new details in the assassination of Iran's top nuke scientist. And much more. 

The strike killed several children as well. Plus, thousands of Haitian migrants are gathered in a Texas border city and the Biden administration plans to fly them back to Haiti, France recalls its U.S. ambassador amid tensions, the search for Gabby Petito continues and Ken Burns releases a new documentary about Muhammad Ali.(Audio: Associated Press, PBS)See Privacy Policy at https://art19.com/privacy and California Privacy Notice at https://art19.com/privacy#do-not-sell-my-info.

An inquiry finds that the strike, days before the US pullout, killed ten members of a family, not militants. Also: France recalls envoys amid security pact row, and New Zealand abandons Pakistan cricket tour over 'security alert'.

The U.S. military on Friday acknowledged that a drone strike in Kabul they initially said killed an ISIS suicide bomber had in fact killed only civilians. The strike took place three weeks ago as the U.S. and allies were evacuating following the Taliban takeover. Nick Schifrin joins Amna Nawaz to discuss.

This week our US correspondent Marion McKeone takes us inside the emotional Senate Judiciary Committee hearings where gymnasts abused by Larry Nasser detailed the horrendous treatment they suffered at the hands of the FBI. The anger at the Department Of Justice's failure to attend the hearings, the agents who failed to act on the information they obtained and the shocking mishandling of crucial evidence are just some of the details that come under the microscope. Later Marion looks at the re-election of Gavin Newsome, E Jean Carroll's breakthrough and what that means for Donald Trump. And finally SpaceX put civilians in space this week so Marion reminds us why she will be first in the queue when the space bus arrives for the rest of us.

Scott interviews Danny Sjursen and gets his reaction to the Taliban victory in Afghanistan. Sjursen thinks the Taliban's campaign to take control of the country may soon be studied in war colleges. He also thinks that Scott's book Fool's Errand should be studied at war colleges, or at least books just as critical of the wars. Sjursen then talks about how this is a tough time for veterans, but that that isn't a reason to hold back criticism of the war. That the idea that being antiwar implies a hatred of the troops is ridiculous and convenient for those in power.  Lastly, Sjursen reflects on the counterinsurgency mission he took part in Afghanistan. Discussed on the show: The Hunt for Red October Redeployment by Phil Klay  “American Purpose After the Fall of Kabul” (New Yorker) Curb Your Enthusiasm clip  The Operators by Michael Hastings  War Machine  Reign of Terror by Spencer Ackerman  Danny Sjursen is a retired U.S. army major and former history instructor at West Point.

Even before the U.S. left Afghanistan, many of the 38 million people who live there were in dire need. Now, with the Taliban in charge, the job of aid groups is much harder. An unknown future awaits the tens of thousands who fled the country in recent weeks. Judy Woodruff discusses with Filippo Grandi, the U.N. high commissioner for human rights, and Henrietta Fore, executive director of UNICEF.

More details are emerging about civilian casualties of a US drone strike on Sunday that Washington said had targeted suspected Islamic State suicide bombers. Reports suggest that ten civilians were killed, all members of the same family. The United States says it's investigating the reports. After Hurricane Ida hit New Orleans and leaves a million people without power, we will get the latest from Louisiana. And Denmark's climate minister tells us why he is trying to persuade other nations to stop producing oil and gas. (Photo: The aftermath of the drone strike in the Afghan capital, Kabul)

Three times Nobel Peace Prize nominated peace activist Kathy Kelly and anti war veteran and author Danny Sjursen discuss Afghanistan, what the war was about, what the war was not about, why Biden's statements on the terrorist "threats" in other countries & on the Kabul blast were troubling. And they debunk the disingenuous media narrative about women's rights and human rights. Kathy Kelly, a peace activist and author, made over two dozen trips to Afghanistan from 2010 – 2019, living with Afghan Peace Volunteers in a working class neighborhood in Kabul. She and her companions in various peace team delegations believe that where you stand determines what you see. Kelly lived with families in Baghdad throughout the 2003 Shock and Awe invasion and during the first weeks of the U.S. occupation. Kelly is now campaigning for an international treaty to ban weaponized drones. Danny Sjursen is an anti-war veteran; the director of @mediaeisenhower (EMN); Senior Fellow at @CIPolicy; contributing editor at @Antiwarcom. He was recently selected as the 2019 Lannan Foundation cultural freedom fellow. He is the author of a memoir and critical analysis of the Iraq War, Ghostriders of Baghdad: Soldiers, Civilians, and the Myth of the Surge; Patriotic Dissent: America in the Age of Endless War; and A True History of the United States: Indigenous Genocide, Racialized Slavery, Hyper-Capitalism, Militarist Imperialism and Other Overlooked Aspects of American Exceptionalism He is a member of several activist organizations, including Veterans for Peace and About Face: Veterans against the War.

As the final UK evacuation flight purely for civilians took off from the capital of Kabul, hundreds of eligible Afghan refugees were left behind. We hear from one of them: an Afghan interpreter who has been unable to get into the airport. Also in the programme: Hurricane Ida is set to make a disastrous landfall Sunday, on the 16th anniversary of Hurricane Katrina, the storm that flooded 80 percent of New Orleans and left 1800 people dead. We speak to a disaster management expert from New Orleans -- from her car as she evacuates the area.

A small number of civilians may still make it onto military flights this weekend

A new BBC report shows eyewitnesses at the scene of the deadly Kabul airport explosion on Thursday saying that a significant number of the 170 Afghans killed in the attack actually died from gunfire by the US-led alliance in the chaos following the blast. "Many we spoke to, including eyewitnesses, said significant numbers of those killed were shot dead by US forces in the panic after the blast," the BBC's Secunder Kermani said on Twitter.

Find out how Kids Rank not only understands the military culture but has developed opportunities for our kids to flourish regardless of their location.   "It's important to play our role in building communities of care for our military kids". https://www.kidsrank.org/ This podcast has been made possible thanks to the generous support from the Naval Academy Spouses' & Civilians' Club. https://www.usna.edu/NASCC/index.php Kelcey Liverpool is the Co-Founder and Executive Director of Kids Rank, founded in 2012 as a nonprofit organization designed specifically to support the social and emotional well-being of military and veteran children. As a Navy spouse for 17 years, moving with her family a total of 9 times and volunteering in several roles at various military installation agencies, she understands first-hand the challenges that are faced by children and families of service members. Inspired by her own children's resilience through many moves, separations and constant transitions Ms. Liverpool felt it was important to focus on the whole child recognizing both their strengths and challenges.   Over the past 8 years, under Kelcey's leadership, Kids Rank has grown as a trusted organization in the Illinois military and veteran community with plans for expansion in the future strategic plan. In that time Kelcey has successfully built strong relationships and partnered with several organizations, such as the National Veterans Art Museum, USO of Illinois, the Red Cross, the Military Child Education Coalition and others in an effort to further the Kids Rank mission and awareness of supporting the needs of military connected children.   Kelcey was recently chosen to participate in a 2-year program as a Summit Fellow, a program that seeks to connect impact-driven leaders within the Summit community to affect positive change in the world and broaden their reach. Kelcey was also named as a 2019 Aspen Fellow.    

If you get a bad hand and have no choice but to play, you do the best with what you've got.  In the case of Afghanistan, Biden may have gotten a raw deal, but this doesn't mean that folding is an option.  Nor does it mean that we have the time to place blame on previous presidents like Trump, Obama, or even Bush when it comes to the current state of play in Kabul.  With explosions near Kabul airport causing casualties that include U.S. service members, focusing decisively on the now is the only path ahead. A political pandemic:  The politicization of COVID isn't new.  However, the pandemic being used for political gain continues to shape our national identity. Cuom'ote of the day: "We are where we are as a function of our own bad intention." 

Tonight on the Last Word: President Biden vows revenge on the terrorists who launched the deadly attack on U.S. service members in Kabul. Also, Texas Republicans move quickly to advance voting restrictions. And Harris County Judge Lina Hidalgo discusses a cash incentive to drive up vaccinations. Joe Cirincione, Tim Kudo, Adam Weinstein and Rep. Colin Allred also join Lawrence O'Donnell.

Horror at Kabul's airport in Afghanistan: a terrorist attack with suicide bombers kills at least a dozen U.S. military service members, and dozens of civilians and injures hundreds more. We will go In Depth on events on the ground in Kabul, and the complicated ramifications of today's attack. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit podcastchoices.com/adchoices

On today's "In the News" roundtable, Brian Becker, Esther Iverem, Nicole Roussell and Walter Smolarek discuss the end to the 20-year U.S. occupation of Afghanistan. The government of Afghanistan has collapsed without a fight, in the face of a lightning offensive by the Taliban following the announcement that US forces were leaving Afghanistan. Joe Biden went on national television yesterday to defend his decision to end the war. Biden acknowledged, in essence, that the US had been defeated and retaining military forces in Afghanistan would never change the outcome. The panel also discusses the devastating earthquake in Haiti, the new court ruling on the federal eviction moratorium, the latest on the rise of the far right, and more.

Thousands of refugees seek sanctuary in Kabul as the militants seize more cities. Kandahar, the second largest city, has fallen, and the World Food Programme has warned of a humanitarian catastrophe. Also, China refuses to cooperate with World Health Organisation to further investigate origins of coronavirus, and why a project in Scotland is asking people to record the sounds of their workplace.

Ethiopia's government is calling civilians to join the military to fight against Tigrayan rebel forces. This marks a stunning turnaround for Ethiopia and its leader, Prime Minister Abiy Ahmed. And, on Monday, Britain, Canada, and the United States imposed new sanctions on Belarus. The move comes one year after strongman leader Alexander Lukashenko rigged the country's presidential election in his favor. Also, the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change's recent report is a “code red” for humanity, says climate scientist William Moomaw. He joins us to talk about jump-starting efforts to reverse the climate crisis.

The UN says Taliban attacks on cities are striking fear into the population. Also: North Korea stops answering recently restored telephone hotline with South Korea, and China's wandering elephant herd finally nears home.

On Conflicts of Interest #144, retired Army Major and Afghan War vet Danny Sjursen returns to the show to discuss Biden's declared end to the Afghan War. Danny explains how the war has changed under the current administration. He attempts to tackle the tough question: “Is the war actually ending?” Danny and Kyle break down the factions in the Biden administration resisting the president's push to end the war. Danny compares Biden's struggle to that of Obama and Trump, who both attempted to limit or end the war but were unable to do so – at least in part – because their employees undermined their efforts.  Danny discusses how the Afghan War is evolving. He breaks down the country's ethnic groups and explains why there is no way to partition the country. Danny tells some stories from his experience in Afghanistan and why our nation-building effort has failed.  Danny debunks key points being made by the hawks to justify the continued occupation and bombing of Afghanistan. Danny looks at the human rights abuses and war crimes of the US and Afghan militaries. Using his own experiences in Afghanistan, Danny explains why the US cannot improve the lives of Afghans with troops or bombs.  Danny concludes the show by discussing how his fellow veterans have reacted to the end of the war. While there is a wide range of opinion, Danny argues the vet community is actually MORE against the war than American civilians.  Danny Sjursen is a retired U.S. Army officer, the director of the Eisenhower Media Network (EMN), a senior fellow at the Center for International Policy (CIP), contributing editor at Antiwar.com, and co-hosts the podcast “Fortress on a Hill.” His work has appeared in the NY Times, LA Times, The Nation, The Hill, Salon, The American Conservative, and Mother Jones, among other publications. He served combat tours in Iraq and Afghanistan and taught history at West Point. He is the author of three books, Ghostriders of Baghdad: Soldiers, Civilians, and the Myth of the Surge, Patriotic Dissent: America in the Age of Endless War, and most recently A True History of the United States.

In this segment of By Any Means Necessary, hosts Sean Blackmon and Jacquie Luqman are joined by independent journalist and photographer Vanessa Beeley to discuss her new article in Dissident Voice, “Syrian Civilians Attacked by Terrorists Using American Weapons,” how US-manufactured arms continue to make their way into the hands of internationally-designated terrorist organizations, and the efforts to provide “humanitarian aid” to Syrian territories currently controlled by Salafist jihadist factions.
