Meanwhile, Over in Iraq
Here's the lede from
an AP story today:
BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S.-led coalition forces killed 20 insurgents, including two women, Friday in fighting and airstrikes that targeted al-Qaida in Iraq militants northwest of Baghdad, the military said. The mayor of the area said 19 civilians were killed, including seven women and eight children.
Well, what were they? Insurgents, including women? Or civilians, including women and children?
This is an awful war, and part of its awfulness is that when our military says we killed "insurgents," and an Iraqi pol says they were civilians, I don't know whom to believe....
