McClatchy’s Jonathan Landay reported on 4 marines killed in Afghanistan this week. The marines were pinned down by a Taliban ambush. U.S. commanders refused requests for artillery support because women and children were re-supplying ammo to the Taliban attackers. Eight Afghan troops and a translator were also killed while 3 Americans and 19 Afghans were wounded. Landay, an embedded reporter, was pinned down with them. Please go here to read his story. Here’s a column about the situation by Diana West
