For a change, U.S. admits that some civilians were killed in an air strike, but as usual, Iraqi witnesses tell a completely different story. U.S. says six civilians and five insurgents were killed, but "Police and witnesses said 14 people were killed, including four women and eight children. Dhurgham Hamid, a man from the area that was hit, said the dead included a man who was a supervisor at the provincial education directorate, and his wife, an accountant at the agency. ''They were peaceful people who had nothing to do with the resistance or gunmen,'' Hamid said."
