KABUL, Afghanistan — A team of investigators from the American-led forces here headed to a volatile corner of northeast Afghanistan on Tuesday after local officials reported that a nighttime raid by NATO commandos there had left 8 civilians dead and 12 wounded.

Details were sketchy, but the governor of Tala Wa Barfak, a district in Baghlan Province, said the Afghans had been killed in the village of Naik early Sunday by what appeared to have been a raid carried out by special forces.

The governor, Mohammed Ismail, said a group of tribal elders he had sent to the village had returned with details. Among the dead were two women and a child, he said. Six of the dead were found in Naik, and two more villagers were found later in a field farther away, he said.

1. “If coalition forces kill one civilian, 20 other family members will pick up weapons..."

so many years, so many dead, so few lessons learned

2. We can't even resolve domestic murders -remember this?

Without Fox News, Glenn Beck is a lone nut, just like Mark David Chapman, the guy who allegedly murdered John Lennon.



Clearly, if Fox news was not a ministry of propaganda John Lennon would still be alive today.

I know this sounds like an absolutely silly rant, of the sort that Glenn Beck engages, and you will clearly not understand what I am trying to say unless you read this:


The evidence clearly proves that if all the Watergate burglars were prosecuted and convicted for ALL their crimes, John Lennon would still be alive today.


This IS NOT rocket science, ladies and gentlemen, did we ever give peace a chance? Do you know what happens when we fail to put serial murderers behind bars where they belong. The proof is in the pudding, don't ignore it !
