My local radio station reported that 16 women and children were killed. I find this hard to believe that no men were killed. Sounds made up.
D'ya think?
Consider the source: Sky "News". You may as well call that bunch the Taliban Propaganda Ministry, and the story reads for all the world like it came out of a cave as well.
Whenever the Taliban gets casualties, they immediately start screaming about dead women, children and massacred wedding parties. Whenever they lose twenty gunmen, they claim 2000 of our troops dead, wounded, captured or all of the above.
JMHO, the Taliban got such good play out of that Burning Koran press release, they tossed this blivet out just to see who would bite.
Made up? If there's any prosecution involved out of this little ploy, it should be reserved for whatever self-described "professional" journalist(s) commits the gratuitous fraud involved in repeating the crap....even in the fevered dreams about finally managing to fabricate that My Lai staged in Afghanistan story.
