The Boston Globe Flies an Afghanistan Kite

Apparently, the Boston Globe considers this item more important than the actual war, which was covered by my local.

Pffffffft!
Forget the big city War Dailies, America.

They HIDE, OBFUSCATE and LIE more than anything else!!!!


"Insurgents hit NATO helicopter carrying Afghan governor, no one injured"

KANDAHAR (AP) -- Insurgents fired a rocket that hit a NATO helicopter carrying the governor of a key southern Afghan province Saturday, but no one was injured, officials said.

A series of clashes, airstrikes and bomb blasts elsewhere in the country killed 10 militants and four civilians....

In western Farah province, Afghan and foreign troops bombed a Taliban hide-out where two hostages were being held, killing eight militants, Afghan army commander Gen. Jalander Shah said....

Also Friday, U.S.-led coalition and Afghan troops clashed and called in airstrikes on insurgents in eastern Khost province during a raid on a compound suspected of housing militants involved in bomb-making activities.

Two militants were killed and four others detained during the operation in Khost's Sabari district, the coalition said in a statement. More than 1,200 people — mostly militants — have died in insurgency-related violence so far this year, according to a tally compiled by The Associated Press."

Good thing they started a new count since at least 8,000 were killed last year.

Wouldn't want Americans getting to upset about the mass slaughter their government dishes out.
