An investigation has found that more than 90 civilians, mostly women and children, were killed in coalition air strikes days ago, an Afghan government minister told AFP Sunday.   >>>>>

Someone is not telling the truth.  Westerners usually rely on the initial reports of the West to form their opinions (which is why our echo chamber gives a more realistic view — we collect news from all parts of the world), and conclude them to be more factual.  The truth dies with that and the withholding of news from outside sources.  I’m inclined to believe the Afghan government, as they were implanted by the U.S.  What benefit do they gain from reporting something that didn’t happen?  Nothing.  It seems that the Taliban and the U.S.-recognized government of Karzai are on the talking point — The U.S. committed more war crimes and are doing what they can to cover it up:  business as usual.
