#4 Civilians from the country's "opium heartland and Taliban stronghold"? My guess is that they did not fall into the category of fluffy ducks.

#7 Ahh, secondaries... I remember one attack in Vietnam that resulted in 50,000 secondaries. The taliwhacked don't seem to have that kind of firepower, and don't bunch up that much. Now if "something happened" in Wazoostain, we might get secondaries like that.

#9 Secondaries remove doubt. "Secondary sex" falls "short" of a good descriptor.

#10 Ahh, secondaries... I remember one attack in Vietnam that resulted in 50,000 secondaries.

I believe there was a strike in Afghanistan that resulted in something like 8 hours of secondaries. Naturally, it was a wedding party.

#11 "Alleged suspects". Uh-huh.

I remember a comic from years ago, featuring a biker whose leather jacket said "Alleged Perpetrators MC".
