Logan: al qaeda killed more civilians than US

How strange to hear this reported on a MSM station. Lara Logan of CBS puts it into perspective. Notice, also, that the civilians who were killed were in a building where an al qaeda leader was hiding. This is a particular tactic of the enemy: they do not wear uniforms so that they can blend in more easily with civilians, thereby increasing the possibility of civilian casualties. They hide in buildings where civilians are because they know that the Americans are more likely to be criticized for collateral damage. They also hide in culturally respected areas such as mosques, knowing that the Americans respect their culture more than they do, partly out of political correctness. So we tie the hands of our military, based on political correctness and the enemy's own strategic decisions. Here CBS reporter lara Logan puts it plainly, as reported by NewsBusters:
CBS's Lara Logan may be in Uganda, but she recognized the skew of media coverage of the WikiLeaks war documents on the U.S. involvement in Afghanistan as she contended “the coverage would indicate that it's more of an issue for the U.S. to kill Afghan civilians than it is for the Taliban to do so."
