BALANDI, Afghanistan (AP) — President Hamid Karzai said a U.S. service member killed 16 people — nine of them children and three women — in a shooting spree Sunday that he condemned as "an assassination."

Karzai demanded an explanation from the United States, adding new tensions to a relationship already severely strained over Americans burning Muslim holy books on a base in Afghanistan.

Five people were wounded in the pre-dawn attack in Kandahar province, including a 15-year-old boy named Rafiullah who was shot in the leg and spoke to the president over the telephone.

Nevertheless, when the Muslims do something it’s a despicable act of terrorism.

not very good, we slaughtered thousands in japan/korea/vietnam/yugoslavia/iraq, that aint even a good kill streak on call of duty, must do better.

how to get away with it and say other countrys have crappy human rights

When I heard about this one I immediately thought that the person who went on the killing spree was a friend or relative of someone who was killed in the response to the Quran burning incident. Not to change the subject here, but regardless of what they try to say about it now, they purposely burned those books and tossed them in the trash because they contained the messages that the prisoners were giving each other by writing notes in it. Of course, it would have been better to keep them as evidence or for use in intelligence research. IMO the military is not known for being smart about stuff like this.
