The headline is that US forces kill up to 80 Taliban in a night raid on a Taliban stronghold in Kandahar province. Interestingly--but not surprisingly--the accompanying photo is of a wounded infant who was hurt in the incident, along with 16 other civilians. Apparently the Taliban hide among the civilians, and the provincial governor has warned civilians not to harbor the Taliban lest they come to harm.
Anyway, I found the photo and presentation "angle" of the incident very telling, especially in light of the story text.

Typical of yahoo news and 100% of all ISP providers (MSN, AOL, Comcast, etc.). They ALL use the liberal wire services as main providers (APO, reuters, etc.),
But then again, is there a choice? What non-biased wire services are there?
...and you thought Yahoo only sold out to Chicoms...
