"Bodywashing"

The Practice of "Bodywashing "

  • "The disturbing practice of reporting false
    details about the circumstances surrounding
    the deaths of U.S. soldiers involved in secret operations."
  • "If a guy is killed on a secret mission and if it was sensitive
    politically, we'd ship the body back home and have a jeep roll over
    on him or we'd arrange a chopper crash, or wait until one happened
    and insert a body of two into the wreckage later. It's not that difficult."
    (a quote from an ex-covert US military specialist)
