Killing kids

The story of the Afghan civilians killed by US troops in March got short shrift when it first appeared on LGF. Basically, the lizard crew denounced anyone who reported the story as a traitor and a liar.

Now a senior US commander in Afghanistan has admitted deep shame for the murder of 19 innocents, but don't expect any expression of similar sentiment on LGF. Acknowledging guilt just isn't the LGF-way.

On a related note, Charles Johnson blasts an Australian rookie preacher for comments he made about the killing of children. Tellingly, though, he consciously fails to mention an incident yesterday in which US troops in Iraq apparently did just that: kill children.

Anti-US or just the facts?

Last month Charles Johnson berated news media for reporting that US troops had shot and killed Afghan civilians. Now a Pentagon investigation has substantiated those reports. Will Charles eat crow?
