A criminal will always side with criminals. Mr Saleh is one of those who has tortured and sold innocent citizens to the US after 9/11

Afghan Gov has a long history of deniying such incidents in order to protect own mistakes or those of the NATO coalition forces. Whether it was again a US airstrikes or an Afghan air force, there should be an independent investigation, otherwise the only wining party are the TLB

Blunt denial and not taking responsibility makes it worse than the crime itself. If he came clean and apologized to the nation and admitted the error that would be a diff story. But this type of media harassment is pure dictatorship. Democracy Dies in Darkness @washingtonpost

So you only dare to speak about this right after @hrw post ! Being in #Afghanistan you should be the first person to raise voice against such thing...

You all are the same. If you don’t have personal connection to a province, you usually don’t care and don’t report the losses of civilians. For instance, you never report civilians casualties in Badghis which is high.

PAfghan Republic should apologize. Not hide the facts. Not send threats to those who want a transparent investigation about this tragic incident. Those childrens' parents deserve the truth not lies.
