Another botched Military Mission
This time in Afghanistan.
Of course in urban combat there will be mistakes - I think even the most liberal of us will accept that and wish it wasn't so.
However at least when there is a mistake deal with it with honour. In this case US and Afghan special forces troops shot five people including a pregnant woman, at a party to celebrate the birth of a new baby. Then after shooting them dug the bullets out with a knife, tied up and gagged the victims, and told their superiors that they found them like that.
Earlier this week NATO admitted responsibility for these deaths following an investigation by The Times (see, more bluddy journalists!).

Yet another terrible story. These "warriors" must have a blood lust to kill indiscriminately in such a manner.
As before, I would not want to be fighting anywhere near them!
