War Paper Crimes: Afghanistan

The New York Times focuses again on the recently released Korean hostages, while the Boston Globe only tells me this in a World Brief sidebar.

And so it goes, reader, and so it goes!


"25 Taliban suspects killed in US-led raid... US-led coalition and Afghan security forces aided by airstrikes killed about 25 suspected militants during raids on a Taliban command center in southern Afghanistan, the coalition said yesterday. The joint force targeted two compounds southwest of Kandahar city Saturday after weeks of observing the area, it said. The clashes killed 25 suspected militants,the coalition said. No coalition or Afghan soldiers were injured. More than 4,200 people -- most of them insurgents -- have been killed so far this year according to an Associated Press count (AP)."

[If no coalition or Afghans even injured, why call in the air boom-booms?

Most of those "insurgents" killed by the U.S. in air raids, reader.

You proud and happy of AmeriKa for killing innocent people who never did anything to us, Amurkn?]
