In this week\u2019s Editorial Pick<\/a>, Aaron Mate from The Real News Network<\/a> interviews\u00a0Anand Gopal, an Afghanistan correspondent for The Wall Street Journal, about the actual civilian death toll in Iraq from the U.S. led bombing campaign as opposed to the figures provided by the U.S. government. In addition, Gopal explains how the U.S. government generally treats victims of war by highlighting the case of Basim Razzo, an Iraqi resident who lost his family when the U.S. government targeted his home. The U.S wrongfully stated after the bombing that it was an an IED facility of ISIS.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
