However, The infamous However... it did not say if he was shot to dead, adding ISAF is assessing the situation and will provide more details as they become available. Meantime, the military alliance confirmed in the press release that some 100 Afghan civilians staged a demonstration in Chorah district today. Khudai Rahim, the governor of Uruzgan province, in talks with Xinhua confirmed that some people staged a demonstration to register their protest over the alleged Kuran burning by a church in the United States. He blamed anti-government Islamic fascisti for exploiting the situation and said that one civilian was killed in the incident as the vested interest elements attempted to attack security forces checkpoints. Similar demonstrations have left over a dozen dead and injured in other cities of Afghanistan over the past week, according to media reports. | |

| #7 why didn't the headline also include that the "protestor" was armed and rushing a gate at a military base? Cause, no matter how hard they tried, they just couldn't connect him to the Tea Party? |

| #6 Well Chris, my first guess is liberal media control. My second it irresponsible reporting. It sounds more attention getting if you leave off or manipulate facts. I mean, how could any one in their right mind call a person rushing a military base with an AK be called a protester? It's would have to be pure media psych warfare. Plant the idea it was a protester in the mind with the headline to maybe you gloss over the armed part. Even if you don't, there is that little bit of sympathy if doubt because he was called a protester. |
