The Taliban is claiming that today, July 19, it has killed over 100 police and officials in a suicide attack involving 4 "martyrs" in Kandahar. 100 casualties is a lot of people, but there isn't a word about this it in our news. And there is still no reporting of the Taliban's claim of killing of 4 Americans two days ago. They are also reporting a steep rise in the number of civilian casualties by the U.S.
One thing is absolutely certain: we are NOT being kept informed about what is going on in Afghanistan. There has been a lot of hoopla about the peace talks, but little or no reporting about the ongoing violence, which continues unabated despite the peace talks.
Look: it is an absolute disaster over there, but it is being suppressed over here.
