How do you report "the truth," Magik, when it involves air raids and statements of success/failure which are not (understandably) announced in advance, and whose results can only be given by the source of air raids, themselves? That's what a lot of the American effort has been Afghanistan: air raids. There was no other source for information on its success/failure.
