According to a Stars & Stripes\/Associated Press<\/a> article, the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF) in Afghanistan is not reporting all of the attacks made on coalition forces by Afghan nationals in uniform;<\/p>\n

In recent weeks an Afghan soldier opened fire on a group of American soldiers but missed the group entirely. The Americans quickly shot him to death. Not a word about this was reported by the International Security Assistance Force, or ISAF, as the coalition is formally known. It was disclosed to the AP by a U.S. official who was granted anonymity in order to give a fuller picture of the “insider” problem.<\/p>\n

ISAF also said nothing about last week’s attack in which two Afghan policemen in Kandahar province fired on U.S. soldiers, wounding two. Reporters learned of it from Afghan officials and from U.S. officials in Washington. The two Afghan policemen were shot to death by the Americans present.<\/p>\n

Just last Wednesday, an attack that killed a U.S. Army special forces soldier, Staff Sgt. Andrew T. Brittonmihalo, 25, of Simi Valley, Calif., also wounded three other American soldiers. The death was reported by ISAF as an insider attack, but it made no mention of the wounded – or that an Afghan civilian also was killed.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

The usurper at the blog formerly known as Blackfive<\/a> asked the question yesterday about how many green-on-blue-related deaths have there been this year. Apparently there won’t be a concrete answer forthcoming from this administration because they want it to look like there will be no hindrances to our timetable withdrawal. <\/p>\n

We can estimate that there have a couple of dozen just in the first four months of this year – but don’t worry…the Afghan investigators have declared that there is no plot underlying the score of deaths. And US forces are now allowed to turn their desks to face their doors. I feel better, don’t you?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
