The United States is responsible for the deaths of millions just this century so Kirby is right but its not something you'd expect a government spokesperson to admit

The divorced dad-of-two appeared to be keeping a low profile, parking his Chevy SUV several blocks from the property and ignoring questions as he slipped inside via a back door.       

He was still wearing his typical military-style getup, including an army field jacket with an Afghan flag patch, backpack, aviator shades and a keffiyeh scarf – a nod to Meek's celebrated dispatches from the frontline in Afghanistan.

The April 27 swoop sparked fears Meek was being targeted for his trailblazing journalism which has exposed shocking military cover-ups, friendly fire deaths and foiled terror plots.

'Independent observers believe the raid is among the first – and quite possibly, the first – to be carried out on a journalist by the Biden administration,' read a bombshell report in Rolling Stone.

The magazine alleged that agents spent ten minutes inside Meek's top-floor pad and found a laptop containing classified information, citing 'sources familiar with the matter' – but friends and former colleagues of the popular, well-regarded reporter say that doesn't add up.

They point out that ABC has not made any legal intervention, nor voiced its support for the star correspondent, who is said to have cited 'personal reasons' for abruptly quitting after nine successful years at the alphabet network.

'If he did have anything like that, classified documents or similar materials, that would presumably be for a story he was working on,' said a former colleague.

'This is a guy who has done a lot of good in the world. ABC would be firmly in his corner if it was for legitimate journalism. None of it adds up.'

The Department of Justice has not disclosed its reason for targeting Meek but – in an unusual step – Dena Iverson, principal deputy director in the DOJ's Office of Public Affairs, released a statement insisting that agents had acted lawfully.

'While the department cannot speak to any specific case or activity, the Department strictly adheres to the Attorney General's July 2021 memorandum prohibiting the use of compulsory process with regards to members of the news media acting within the scope of newsgathering activities,' she told the Daily Beast.  

The policy was brought in last year by the Biden administration to prohibit feds from seizing materials from reporters without authorization from the deputy attorney general.

The Department of Justice did not respond to multiple emails from DailyMail.com asking for an update on Meek's case.

What do you mean the US government lied about Afghanistan? Living in Afghanistan sucks, especially for women

I will try and explain this to you simply, but the Taliban was created and backed by the CIA because the US was concerned about Afghanistan having just been invaded by the USSR, a socialist state, because the US has a vested interest in maintaining the capitalist system. The US govt helped create and fund the Taliban, then used the existence of the Taliban as an excuse to kill, torture, and drone strike Afghani citizens thereby making them (justifiably) enraged about the US, thus creating further radicalization and pushing people (specifically young men) towards militant extremist ideologies like ISIS, The Taliban, and Al Queda, giving the US more incentive to keep torturing and murdering people in Afghanistan. Why did they do this? To stop the spread of socialism and to steal natural resources like coal and gas from the SWANA (south west Asia and North Africa) region. The US GOVT ADMITS TO THIS AND THEY DO NOT HIDE IT

Here’s a quote from the council on foreign relations!

Here’s a Washington Post article about it

VOA News: Luiz Ramirez: Future Role of US Troops in Afghanistan Debated

. Source:The New Democrat  The only thing that American troops in conjunction with NATO should be doing right now is helping to train and develop the Afghan military so Afghanistan can defend itself from domestic and foreign invaders including the Taliban and other terrorists groups. We’ve been there twelve years and have our own problems back at home economically and financially. That these wars…
