Actually, they DID report that the Taliban said 20 Afghani 'innocents' died in the first bomb run. However, again being cynical, how do we KNOW that's how they died? I think it's awful they died at all, but anyone from now on who dies (whether by our bombs or at the hand of the Taliban) will be blamed on us irregardless.
Edit: And I put 'innocents' like this because how do we know they were innocent? For all we know, 20 Taliban officials died. (Geez, I'm cynical.)
