US 'killed 47 Afghan civilians'
A US air strike in eastern Afghanistan on Sunday killed 47 civilians, 39 of them women and children, an Afghan government investigating team says.
Reports at the time said that 20 people were killed in the airstrike in Nangarhar province. The US military said they were militants.
But local people said the dead were wedding party guests.
Correspondents say the issue of civilian casualties is hugely sensitive in Afghanistan.
President Hamid Karzai has said that no civilian casualty is acceptable.
Mr Karzai set up a nine-man commission to look into Sunday's incident.
The commission is headed by Senate deputy speaker, Burhanullah Shinwari whose constituency is in Nangarhar province. He told the BBC: ''Our investigation found out that 47 civilians (were killed) by the American bombing and nine others injured.
"There are 39 women and children" among those killed, he said. The eight other people who died were "between the ages of 14 and 18".

By MichtouJuly 12, 2008 - 12:07pmBIG BRAINS: Green's humoring Kerry CLOWN? Regular RIOT Alice!
He'll look into the finding that puts BLACK OPS in Iran per Hersh, give me fucken break!!!
Do you really think that anybody with a scintilla of perspective regarding the purple Band-Aid moment at the RNC at MSG in Manhattan, takes anything JK says seriously?
Just ask him what influence the CFR has on OIL SPECULATION, then we'll talk. His jibber jabber on McBush is pure flatulence that I know that you know that everybody knows is IRRELEVANT, notwithstanding a meteor shower takes out BHO.
Is that what you're planning for, a contingency plan in the works? WTF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
PS:
I'll give him this: The giggle when Green mentioned the invention of the typewriter, sounded genuinely sincere.
But, the crap about sucking it up when the BHO's IRRATIONAL FISA vote was INCONSEQUENTIAL, both because the supermajority understands what ILLEGAL DOMESTIC SPYING means, and since the ELECTORAL COLLEGE MAP is already locked up for BHO, it's NOT RATIONAL PERIOD!!!!!!!!
It will NOT be easily forgiven, just as the OMISSION of SIGNING STATEMENTS from any stump speeches cant be overlooked (MR CONSTITUTIONAL SCHOLAR, MY ASSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!!!!). And for that matter ROVAKGATE, the Kean-Hamilton Commission PERJURY, HABEAS CORPUS, EXPOST FACTO, HAVA, FEC, etc.
What the fuck is an ETHICS COMMITTEE and what was that old MLK - Jefferson - Thom Paine quote about silence ... VIRTUAL FILIBUSTERS, put down the bong and ... GO FUCK YOURSELF!!!
BTW:
Adds for Black Politics airing "live" on Sat AM during 7days, is amateurish DUMMY!!!
And where's the 7D blog for last, and this week???????????????
And I agree with the HuffPo ZEITGEIST analysis BIG TIME!!!!!!!

By SingSingJuly 12, 2008 - 7:08pmLets Use The New FISA act to get the missing RNC E-Mails
OK now that we all were all kicked in the teeth and made to suck lemons, with the passing of extending the role of government intrusion in direct defiance of the bill of rights, and in-peculiarly the 4th amendment of the Constitution, with the passing of the new FISA bill. Well it’s time to make lemon aid.
There’s a matter of hundreds of thousands of missing RNC e-mails... well guess what? Congress can now subpoena them direct from the telecoms, we know that they trapped every single email and phone call from before 2001! We also know that they made copies of everything and now is in storage either with the Phone companies or the NSA, or both, either way there's the copies sitting there, that were thought to be long lost, and destroyed.
It’s time to call our senators and congressmen (1 202 225 3121) and demand that they do just that.
While their at it maybe they should also get the records from Karl Rove, and Ken Blackwell
