American-led troops were accused yesterday of dragging innocent children from their beds and shooting them during a night raid that left ten people dead.
Afghan government investigators said that eight schoolchildren were killed, all but one of them from the same family. Locals said that some victims were handcuffed before being killed.
Western military sources said that the dead were all part of an Afghan terrorist cell responsible for manufacturing improvised explosive devices (IEDs), which have claimed the lives of countless soldiers and civilians.

Yeah but not with “commander zero” in charge.
Bullshit
I counted six stories Jerome Starkey wrote for AlterNet the notoriously leftest publication. Look into this guy. He could be another Reuters type set up or even working with local “runners”.

BS detector should have smoke and sparks pouring out of it
The article mentions school books. I wonder at what madrassa they were studying? Also some of the “students” were of an age that might participate in warfare.
Most of his braincells must be non-functional.
All he seems to do is rewrite the enemy propaganda points.
Nice find. I’ll go with GeronL’s #45.
I wonder if it will matter now that 0bama is President? It is possible this will get handled much differently by our press than it would have while Bush was President. Likely so, even.
Quick, notify John Murtha.
Get used to it- this is the same BS -Hamas used saying Israel shot at Masques and innocent women and children. Odd how a terrorist is never hit-boy we have bad aim?
This is total B.S. They are riling up the masses - trying to escalate.
Afghanis are saying this? Gosh, they wouldn’t make something up, would they? Especially after the rules of engagement controversy?
This doesn’t pass the smell test.
Bush’s fault.
I guess we have more Courts Marshals of American troops coming.
About those “schoolchildren”...what were they..around 22 year old madrassa students?
Yeah but, I’m sure we read them their rights first.
And I believe the muslim families of these children would be complicit in a plot like that just to be able to cast blame on the Americans.
Muslims suck.
BULL MANURE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
