And to round it up, see this:

Afghans blame troops for death of translator during rescue and leaving body

From that link:
‘Afghan journalists expressed their anger today over the death of a colleague killed during an operation to rescue a New York Times reporter kidnapped by the Taleban. They also complained about the decision by British commandos to leave the man’s body behind.’

Oh yeah - blame the Brits - don’t blame the Taleban who made this necessary in the first place.
As for that poor Afghan - who was a translator, not a journalist -, how is it that he ran straight into a firefight?

But hey - Taleban is allowed to shoot - Brits aren’t …

It looks to me as if the LLL mindset has already taken roots in some Afghan minds.
Makes one wonder if they’ve had instructions from some hamasholes or fatahthugs?
