| [Hurriyet Daily News] Medical aid group Medecins Sans Frontieres denied that Taliban fighters were firing from its hospital at Afghan and NATO ...the North Atlantic Treaty Organization. A cautionary tale of cost-benefit analysis.... forces before a suspected U.S. air strike killed at least 19 people in a battle to oust the Islamist murderous Moslems from an Afghan city. Fighting raged around the northern scenic provincial capital of Kunduz for a seventh day as government forces backed by American air power seek to drive out Talibs who seized the city almost a week ago. Decomposing bodies littered the streets and residents said that food was scarce. MSF has said an air strike, probably carried out by U.S.-led coalition forces, killed 19 staff and patients on Oct.3 in a hospital it runs in Kunduz, leaving 37 maimed. The U.S. military said it conducted an air strike "in the vicinity" of the hospital, as it targeted Taliban murderous Moslems who were directly firing on U.S. military personnel. President Barack Obama I think when you spread the wealth around, it's good for everybody... said the defense department had ordered a full investigation into the incident as the U.N. human rights ...which often include carefully measured allowances of freedomat the convenience of the state... chief said the assault on the hospital was "utterly tragic, inexcusable" and could amount to a war crime. |

| #4 Parking your everyday military target next to a hospital or vice versa is the real 'war crime' according to the real conventions. |

| #2 "They were definitely not firing from the hospital. Besides, they said they would kill us if we tried to stop them." |
