The AP wire is hot with news from Iraq and Afghanistan today.
The military says as many as "26" people were killed in their on-going sweeps- this one in Sadr City. However the people who live there and becoming increasingly hostile to our occupation- says "8 civilians" were killed in their homes during the siege.
Hey- collateral casualties in soldier-speak.
In other soldier-speak- it's claimed another American-led airstrike in southern Afghanistan has killed or wounded as many as 30 civilians - "including women and children." It was not reported if Osama Bin Laden was among the casualties.
If you can't win their hearts and minds- blow them up I guess....
