Waiting for a reliable source.
Praying that it isn't true.

The Pak sources in the past have been full of bs and lies. Let's hope and pray that their credibility remains low, although I am frankly bothered that STRATFOR is the secondary source, which seems to give it some credence (hopefully NOT!).

Stratfor is quoting a jihadist website? You have got to be kidding.
To: Axion
Somehow I doubt that Stratfor would have a big story like this long before CNN or Fox.
The Pakistani-jihadist press reports Americans being killed in Afghanistan pretty much on a daily basis.

Let's hope it isn't true. I just spoke with my son an hour ago, and although we can't talk about anything, I can always tell if something has gone wrong. He sounded fine. I would think all troops overseas would hear about this pretty quickly if it did happen.

I'm surprised we have any troops left to invade Iraq seeing how many we're losing in Afghanistan! According to JihadUnspun.com, we've had a thousand killed and a thousand more captured by Jihadists. Very cleverly, the Jihadis refuse to show any video evidence of these captives. However, they did release one still photo of the most recent batch of American prisoners being paraded down Tarin Kot's main street. Here it is:

Nice of them to let our guys ride on horseback. Such humanitarians.

I went over to this
Jihadunspun place and found this in their forum:
At Jihad Unspun, I can tell you that a great deal of effort goes into translating news items from Pakistan and Afghanistan daily. We dont write the news we report it. Any item we publish about casualties has to appear in two sources before we publish it. That said, these are news reports and in most cases are not first hand accounts.
Sounds like second hand reporting to me.
