Neil, I was disputing AccE's statement that 'US forces
killed hundred of thousands of civilians'.
But then, you can dispute most of the things he posts!

A bit to read in your attachments but if you look at the figures I think the 20,000 is a
total of all civilian deaths including Taliban action.
For instance- Total civilians killed / By Nato and Gov / By insurgent action
2008 / 2118 /823 /1160
2009 /2412 / 596 /1630
2010 /2777 /440 /2080
2011(1st 6 mth) /1462 /207 /1167
Still horrific figures but most of them Afghans killing Afghans. At least the Coalitions forces
try not to kill civilians,more than can be said for the Taliban with their suicide bombers, IED's, executions etc.
Sorry, laid it out as a table but it didn't work.
