BAGRAM AIRFIELD, Afghanistan, Aug. 22, 2008 – Multiple militants were killed and one was detained by coalition forces during an operation to disrupt militant activities in Afghanistan's Kapisa province yesterday, military officials reported.
The force searched a compound in Tag Ab district, targeting a Taliban commander who smuggles weapons and foreign fighters into Afghanistan and organizes suicide attacks against coalition and NATO forces, officials said.
During the operation, armed militants engaged the force. Coalition forces responded with air strikes and small-arms fire, killing the militants.

“Coalition Disrupts Militants in Eastern Afghanistan “
I don’t know, but between you, me and the fencepost, this is a very vanilla headline.
How about: Americans killed, really killed, dead, dead, dead as a doornail, a bunch of Taliban creeps who abused women and children
That headline might be acceptable to liberals.
Just a suggestion...
Good. I hope there’s a whole lot of disrupting going on up around there.
