This was pretty much all we heard from you before the invasion of Iraq. I can always tell when we're winning--the wedding party stories start popping up.

How come it's always a wedding party? Is this the only social event Afghans have?

Shinwari said the group gathered information from eyewitnesses and victim's relatives.

All those killed in Deh Bala incident were buried in one cemetery near the village where the attack happened, Shinwari said.

"They were all civilians, with no links to al-Qaida or the Taliban," Shinwari said.

The members of the commission gave $2,000 for every person killed and $1,000 for those wounded, he said.

Well, there's a rigorous procedure. Get testimony from relatives, and hand out cash for civilian deaths. I suspect there are no handouts for dead Taliban.

Could you possibly be this gullible?
