50 Suspected Taliban Killed in Afghanistan

U.S. and Afghan soldiers killed approximately 50 suspected Taliban fighters during a battle in Southern Afghanistan.

The interesting thing about the story is that the AP reporter was much more interested in a protest at a U.S. air base, whereby a few people shouted, "Die America." Additionally, the reporter states at the end of the article, "More than 800 people have died in an upsurge in violence since March." The '800' figure is unimportant because it includes Taliban and Al Qaeda members. But it does give the story a nice antiwar, anti-American twist.
