When we were carpet bombing Afghanistan, did you ask how many Afghan people were killed?

Hmm, strange, I don't recall any carpet bombing in Afghanistan.

As for the serious question there, the interesting answer is that some elements in the American media tried rather diligently to get just those numbers. As I recall, it was the American military that made it difficult to get them. Do you have a different memory?
