My 2 cents:
It is difficult to believe Hirsch in the light of the information freely released by Pentagon previously.
For example, this 18 MEG mpg video of the inclusion.
IMO, the DOD has been more open, frank, and detailed -- in contrast to Hersch in this matter.

G d bless the United States and its troops in Enduring Freedom.

Well, this report "confirms" a previous one, or is this the same guy? I dont know if I believe it. However, if something like this DID happen, I dont doubt that they would in fact keep it a secret. Maybe the "failure" of this mission is one reason the US has started really bombing the Taleban frontlines position in an effort to help the northern alliance....

I know two people in the miltary. A C-5 pilot and a tank driver. A Lt Colonel and a grunt. But both are exactly alike. This is what they signed up for, this is what they do and both know they might die doing it. Articles such as this from simpering snotty liberals do not amuse them.

I am proud of these men. If they were wounded, thank God that they were not killed. It does seem that reporters often want to paint any military incursion as one which has no effect on the campaigners unless they themselves are killed. Then the reporters, media mavens, can say, "See the US is suffering loss in a war in which they cannot win." It does seem that the media of the Big 3 types are often anti-American and want our military to suffer a blow so the media can then say , "What bullies the USA are." I can only pray that many more Special Ops incursions occur and that our people are safe but I do want them to continue to seek out and destroy. That is their annointed job and all Americans should support them. When the body bags do come, our prayers, support and resolve should stiffen against our barbarian enemies, not go pacifistic and weak.

Rumsfeld better unscrew that mess and quick. Right now, I prefer to believe it was an intelligence breakdown and poor planning. There should be no doubt that a force of Delta's reputation cannot acquit itself in battle. In any case, the most unpleasant thing about the report is that it got out.
