Turn over a rock and what do you find

Slugs, and of course an old time of record . Guess who was the “embedded reporter” who corroborated the military’s story that the recent air strike in killed only militants, when it in fact killed over 80 civilians of which about 50 were child “terrorists” .

Of course he’s reporting for , that bastion of fair and balanced reporting. I mean, who else, except maybe the National Enquirer, would hire an asshole like that. Good old Ollie North, the walking talking black hole for truth and morality.

As the doctor walks between rows of bodies, people lift funeral shrouds to reveal the faces of children and babies, some with severe head injuries.

Women are heard wailing in the background. “Oh God, this is just a child,” shouts one villager. Another cries: “My mother, my mother.”

The grainy video eight-minute footage, seen exclusively by The Times, is the most compelling evidence to emerge of what may be the biggest loss of civilian life during the Afghanistan war.

These are the images that have forced the Pentagon into a rare U-turn. Until yesterday the US military had insisted that only seven civilians were killed in Nawabad on the night of August 21.

The video on the Times page is not for the faint of heart. I’m glad enough that my sound isn’t working.

Give me a little link love would ya ;):
