Blame America First Best of the Web Today BY JAMES TARANTO Tuesday, June 12, 2007 3:24 p.m. EDT "U.S. Mistakenly Kills 7 Afghan Police" reads the headline of an Associated Press dispatch. Strictly speaking, this is not inaccurate, but the first paragraph makes clear that the headline is something less than a half truth: <<< Afghan police mistook U.S. troops on a nighttime mission for Taliban fighters and opened fire on them early Tuesday, prompting U.S. forces to return fire and call in attack aircraft. Seven Afghan police were killed. >>> The headline makes it sound as if the Americans rather than the Afghans made the mistake. opinionjournal.com helenair.com
