Stardate 20011012.1114 (On Screen): The Taliban are trying to play the victim card, by claiming huge numbers of civilian deaths and bombings of civilian targets like villages and mosques. It's important to keep in mind that they have a vested interest in making this seem as bad as possible, and that they
do not have a record of veracity. Since there's no independent confirmation of these claims, they should be taken with a generous supply of salt.
