The Core Infrastructure Initiative (CII), a project hosted by The Linux Foundation that enables technology companies, industry stakeholders and esteemed developers to collaboratively identify and fund open source projects that are in need of assistance, today announced five new backers, the first projects to receive funding from the Initiative and the Advisory Board members who will help identify critical infrastructure projects most in need of support.
Hands-on with Kali Linux 1.0.7Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Wednesday 28th of May 2014 11:30:10 AM Filed under
One last thing about booting Kali Linux. The details of this are beyond the scope of this kind of general Linux blog, but one of the major advances in this release is support for Encrypted USB Persistence. This is specifically for people who will be booting Kali from a USB stick, it gives them the possibility to securely save changes to an encrypted partition on the USB drive. I haven't had time to look at this in detail yet, much less actually try it out, but at first glance I think it probably removes one of the major reasons for carrying a dedicated laptop around for security analysis, rather than just a Live USB stick.
So there you have it, short and very sweet. If you are interested in network security, forensic analysis or penetration testing, this is a Linux distribution you need to know about. If you're already using it, just make sure that you pick up the latest updates so that you get the new kernel and tools.
BackTrack Successor Kali Linux 1.0.7 Arrives with Linux Kernel 3.14Submitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Tuesday 27th of May 2014 07:06:28 PM Filed under
As usually, Kali Linux 1.0.7 features various new tools, updated applications, as well as numerous fixes in order to make Kali Linux a more stable and reliable Linux operating system. This includes a new version of the Linux kernel, among other things.
There are numerous Linux distributions in the open source ecosystem, but there are very few built specifically for penetration testing and digital forensics. The former iteration of this distro, BackTrack, is one of the most downloaded OSes and it's the go-to operating system when you need a professional solution.
Meet the Man Hired to Make Sure the Snowden Docs Aren't HackedSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Tuesday 27th of May 2014 06:33:29 PM Filed under
When he got to Rio, Lee spent one entire day strengthening Greenwald's computer, which at that point used Windows 8. Lee was worried spy agencies could break in, so he replaced the operating system with Linux, installed a firewall, disk encryption and miscellaneous software to make it more secure.
Notable Penetration Test Linux distributions of 2014Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 23rd of May 2014 07:30:33 AM Filed under
A penetration test, or the short form pentest, is an attack on a computer system with the intention of finding security weaknesses, potentially gaining access to it, its functionality and data. A Penetration Testing Linux is a special built Linux distro that can be used for analyzing and evaluating security measures of a target system.
Silent Circle secures $30 million in funding to expand Blackphone productionSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Thursday 22nd of May 2014 05:11:21 AM Filed under
Private communications firm Silent Circle has secured $30 million in funding to cope with demand for the privacy-based Blackphone, as well as expand operations globally.
Security's future belongs to open sourceSubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Wednesday 21st of May 2014 05:13:15 AM Filed under
The proof that open source, properly applied, is available. Studies, such as the one recently done by Coverity, have found that open-source programs have fewer errors per thousand lines of code than its proprietary brothers. And, it's hard to ignore the Communications-Electronics Security Group (CESG), the group within the UK Government Communications Headquarters (GCHQ) that assesses operating systems and software for security issues, when they said that that while no end-user operating system is as secure as they'd like it to be, Ubuntu 12.04 is the most secure desktop.
On the other hand, the mere existence of Microsoft's monthly Patch Tuesday says everything most of us need to know about how "secure" proprietary software is. I also can't help noticing how every time Microsoft releases a new version of Internet Explorer (IE), they always claim it's the most secure ever. And, then, a new hole is found, and guess what, that same security hole is in every version of IE from IE 6 to IE 11. If IE really were being rewritten to make it secure why are the same holes showing up In Every Version??
Spyware Driver Notification in Ubuntu Shows Just How Vulnerable Windows Really IsSubmitted by Rianne Schestowitz on Tuesday 20th of May 2014 03:01:47 AM Filed under
The biggest problem with any Windows operating system is the security, whether it's about viruses or back doors, and this spyware "message" in a Linux system about Windows drivers shows just how much of a problem security is for Microsoft's OS.
Tails 1.0 review – total privacySubmitted by Roy Schestowitz on Sunday 18th of May 2014 06:53:58 PM Filed under
Tails has been a curiosity to us for a while now, long before Snowden made it known to the mainstream. Cropping up every now and then on Distrowatch, we acknowledged that it existed and its list of features seemed to convey that the team knew what they were doing in constructing an ultra-secure and privacy-driven Linux distro. Now post-Snowden and Heartbleed, with the need for journalists and whistleblowers to have true internet privacy, we've come to see Tails as a necessity in the changing tech world.
Tails: An essential distro or an accessory to compliment a tin foil hat for the average user?Submitted by Roy Schestowitz on Friday 16th of May 2014 08:31:58 PM Filed under
For those that don't know, Tails offers complete privacy (or close to) by way of Tor, its a Debian based distro provided as a bootable image and the idea is you place it on a USB or DVD so that when you turn off the machine, no data is stored locally. Whilst the distro is aimed at the "mainstream average user" I cannot see any other user having issues configuring or indeed using any other distro (with the correctly installed tools) to do exactly the same thing.
You've got OpenOffice, GIMP, Audacity included for your other needs and they don't need any further explanation.

7 stories that make you feel good about open source in 2015 (so far)
One of the great things about open source is its reach beyond just the software we use. Open source isn't just about taking principled stands, it's about making things better for the world around us. It helps spread new ideas by letting anyone with an interest modify and replicate those ideas in their own communities. In this collection, let's take a look back at some of the best articles we've shared this year about the ways that open source is making an impact on communities and improving the lives of people across the world.
Exclusive interview with Hans de Raad
In my daily life (both personal and professional) I use open source for just about anything, from LibreOffice to Drupal, Kolab, Piwik, Apache, KDE, etc. Being part of the communities of these projects for me is a very special extra dimension that creates a lot of extra motivation and satisfaction. For me, open source isn't so much of a choice it is simply the standard.

My boyfriend and I have had a great time at the Atlanta! Nice boutique hotel with friendly staff, clean rooms and great location. The stairs are Amsterdam-style (i.e. steep) with no elevator though, so not advisable for those who have a lot of difficulty with climbing stairs. The staff helped with carrying the luggage up so that was not a problem. As we booked our room last minute and the hotel was almost booked out, we had to stay in two different room types.
The first 3 nights we stayed in a double deluxe room (eventhough we had only booked a standard room) which was a very nice and newly refurbished. The room was spaceous and clean, but a bit noisy (but hey it's in the center of the center so that is to be expected.) Furthermore, it looked as though there was a jaccuzi bath in the room, so we got our hopes up by this pleasant surprise only to find that the hotel only turns them on when a guest has booked and paid for it. Fair enough, we didn't book it and I am sure its not cheap to maintain that if guests haven't paid for it.
The second room we stayed in was the double standard room, which was what we had originally booked. This room looked a little dated, but still clean, comfortable and with a bath. The room was in the back of the hotel though and as such not noisy at all, but we preferred the view of the square, so next time will request it again. (I suppose for the very light sleepers a room in the back is probably a better option though.)
Lastly, the receptionists have been great at advising us on cool (non touristy) places to go and good places to eat. Very helpful! (Best tip: the beer brewery in a windmill;))
Next visit to Amsterdam, we will stay here again and will recommend it to people we know!

- TripAdvisor is proud to partner with Booking.com, Hotels.com, Orbitz, Expedia, Travelocity, Priceline, Cheap Tickets, EasyToBook, TripOnline SA, Odigeo and Otel so you can book your Atlanta Hotel reservations with confidence.

In Brief: Azzam illustrates Levi-Strauss on MythologiquesFriday, March 6th, 2015
[ by Charles Cameron — the geometry of two miracle stories from Abdullah Azzam ]
These two tales are taken from Abdullah Azzam, Signs of ar-Rahman in the Jihad of Afghanistan.
Binary oppositions seem to be basic to the human thought process, and this simple, elegant observation has in turn given rise to a number of interesting philosopphical explorations, some of which are expressed perhaps most powerully in diagrams. I am thinking here of the medieval square of opposition — as in this diagram taken from Georg Reisch, Margarita Phylosophica tractans de omni genere scibili, Basel 1517:
Algirdas Greimas developed his semiotic square from this medieval diagram —
— and defines his square as the "visual representation of the logical articulation of any category". In his "Towards a Theory of Modalities", Greimas writes:
the terms manifestation vs. immanence .. can be compared profitably with the categories surface vs. deep in linguistics, manifest vs. latent in psychoanalysis, phenomenal vs. noumenal in philosophy, etc.
Then there's Levi-Strauss and his triangle, essentially a variant on the same idea, applied by LS in his magnificent 4-volume Mythologiques to a wide range of myths — here's the basic triangle for the first volume, The Raw and the Cooked:
What Reisch, Greimas and Levi-Strauss are all doing lies in its own distinct area of "visual thinking" at the confluence of logic, algebra, geometry and conceptual graphs — the same area my own DoubleQuotes and the HipBone and Sembl games are found in.
When people think about narrative — and it is or should be as hot a topic in strategy and counterterrorism as it is in myth, story-telling, film and their various related forms of criticism — they tend to think linearly, from beginning to end, noting the emotional expansions and contractions, the narrative shifts, the crescendos before the climax and its resolution.
My own style of thinking leans more to the atemporal or synchronic, which in turn is closer to the logical-algebraic-geometric-graphical mode of visual expression. Thus, for me, the "myth of Narcissus" is not a story-line but a geometry, a narrative formulation of the concept of reflection, or "bouncing back". To adapt the Levi-Strauss triangle to the Narcissus narrative, then, we have:
while the two Azzam miracle tales in my DoubleQuote at the top of this post give us:
This in turn can become a square if we allow the four coordinates to be wine (intoxicant, bad), water (sobriety, good), vinegar (sour, bad) and honey (sweet, good). We notice here that water (sobriety, good) is the fourth which hovers unmentioned over the twin tales, just as Jung argued the dogma of the Assumption of the Virgin into heaven was the "fourth" which "completed" — nb, this is from a psychological perspective — the celestial Trinity of Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
It remains for Jalaluddin Rumi to transcend the duality of the halal (sobriety) and the haram (intoxication) in his praise of his master, Shams of Tabriz:
In Shams al-Din-i Tabrizi you will discover a heart which is at once intoxicated and very sober.
In what sense or senses are Azzam's two tales two, and in what sense are they one and the same?

Sunday second surprise: Ferdinando BuscemaSunday, January 25th, 2015
[ by Charles Cameron — from Tesla to St Augustine is a short creative leap ]
I recently received a LinkedIn invite from one Ferdinando Buscema, who described himself to me as a Glasperlenspieler, a player of the Glass Bead Game. I must say that pleased me, there's a quiet humility there that calling oneself Magister Ludi or Master of the Game would lack. He's a player, I'm a player, let's play.
Here's the BoingBoing video he sent me when I accepted his invite:
Not for nothing does Ferdinando call himself a Magic Experience Designer.
As you'll see, in the video Ferdinando very warmly recommends Erik Davis' book TechGnosis: Myth, Magic & Mysticism in the Age of Information — which has also been highly praised by the likes of Howard Rheingold, Hakim Bey, Mark Dery, Bruce Sterling, Terence Mckenna, and Mark Pesce, to which intriguing list you may add myself.
Erik and I began a never-completed HipBone game many years ago — it was around the topics of Hanibal Lecter, his recreational collection of church collapses, and the origins of the Memory Palace in Simonides' encounter with the gods Castor and Pollux — and Erik mentions the HipBone Games briefly in his book. At the moment, I owe him an update on the games, which I'll post here at Zenpundit in due course.
It was a particular delight for me, then, to see Ferdinando's obvious and full-throated praise of Erik's stunning book in his video, followed up by equal praise of Ramon Llul — one of those writers in the Hermetic tradition whose work precedes not just the Bead Game but much of today's science, from digital computers via genetics to genetic algorithms and cryptography.
Ferdinando's third treasure turned out to be Nikola Tesla, and in particular the remark he made about his mode of creativity. I hadn't come across this remark before, but it cried out for DoubleQuotation with a remark of St Augustine's, which I have carried with me since I first read of it in Dom Cuthbert Butler's book, Western Mysticism, back in my teens better than half a century ago.
Here, then, are the two luminous / numinous quotes, from Tesla and Augustine, DoubleQuoted by me for Ferdinando as an offering on first meeting:
It doesn't hurt, of course, that the word "ictus" which Augustine uses also features in the context of Gregorian Chant, where it indicates the almost simmultaneous touchdown of a bird on a branch and its takeoff on a new curve of flight. I had the honor to learn the word from Dom Joseph Gajard, choirmaster at the Abbey of St Pierre de Solesmes — then and I suspect now the center of the world's musical paleography and liturgical perormance of the chant, and in my teens my favorite vacation and retreat — under whose cheironomic hand I had the good fortune, once, albeit without much skill, to sing..
And so the beads are dropped into the lake: we watch as their ripples ripple out and intersect..
Of morale and angels, Kiev and RagnarokSaturday, January 17th, 2015
[ by Charles Cameron — not to mention crushing Khomeini, lubing your M16, and that Afghan powerpoint ]
In my previous post, Of morale, angels and Spartans, I raised the question of how our increasingly visual and graphical age could visually represent morale. I noted that the Muslims outfought a larger force at the Battle of Badr, and that the Qur'an suggests that this was because thousands of "angels, ranks on ranks" fought alongside them.
Dave Schuler suggested the Archangel Michael — which sent me all over in search of a suitable representation. The icon above, by Andrei Rublev, is the most profound and beautiful work I was able to find, but hardly serves our purpose.
I ran across a politically explicit comntemporary image in which the Archangel wears Airborne insignia:
— but it was this image from the Maidan in Kiev that came closes to the sense of military power in angelic form —
— although I'm not sure that military power or prowess is necessarily the same as morale or esprit de corps…
Synchronistically — or coinidentally, as sceptics would say — Justin Erik Halldór Smith headed his blog post Ragnarök on the Seine today with an image of Peter Nicolai Arbo's Wild Hunt, or Aasgaardreien. Here's a detail:
And here's "the big picture":
That's probably closer to "amok" than to "esprit de corps" — although the relationship between them is worth pondering.
I'm still not convinced that contemporary minds will "get" morale from any graphic image yet devised.. I can't help remembering the M-16 manual I picked up one day at a library sale or flea market, titled The M16A1 Rifle: Operation and Preventive Maintenance:
My guess, however, is that we'll wind up with something closer to this:
Image sources:
Andrei Rublev, icon of Archangel Michael Archangel Michael, Especial Forces graphic Sculpture, Archangel Michael, Kiev Peter Nicolai Arbo, Aasgaardreien M16 manual, DA Pam 750-30 Powerpoint, Afghanistan Stability

Grothendieck's mathematics and Child Born of WaterSaturday, December 13th, 2014
[ by Charles Cameron — two approaches to mathematics, two types of heroism, and their respective complementarities ]
I wish to propose a clear analogy between the mathematician Grothendieck's two styles of approach to a problem in mathematics, and the Navajo Twin Gods, Monster-Slayer and Child-Born-of-Water.
Steve Landsburg's post, The Generalist, compares two approaches to mathematics, as practiced by two eminent mathematicians:
If there was a nut to be opened, Grothendieck suggested, Serre would find just the right spot to insert a chisel, he'd strike hard and deftly, and if necessary, he'd repeat the process until the nut cracked open. Grothendieck, by contrast, preferred to immerse the nut in the ocean and let time pass. "The shell becomes more flexible through weeks and months — when the time is ripe, hand pressure is enough."
In the paras leading up to this one, Landsburg gives us the insight that these two approaches can be generalized as "zooming in" and "zooming out":
Imagine a clockmaker, who somehow has been oblivious all his life to many of the simple rules of physics. One day he accidentally drops a clock, which, to his surprise, falls to the ground. Curious, he tries it again—this time on purpose. He drops another clock. It falls to the ground. And another.
Well, this is a wondrous thing indeed. What is it about clocks, he wonders, that makes them fall to the ground? He had thought he'd understood quite a bit about the workings of clocks, but apparently he doesn't understand them quite as well as he thought he did, because he's quite unable to explain this whole falling thing. So he plunges himself into a deeper study of the minutiae of gears, springs and winding mechanisms, looking for the key feature that causes clocks to fall.
It should go without saying that our clockmaker is on the wrong track. A better strategy, for this problem anyway, would be to forget all about the inner workings of clocks and ask "What else falls when you drop it?". A little observation will then reveal that the answer is "pretty much everything", or better yet "everything that's heavier than air". Armed with this knowledge, our clockmaker is poised to discover something about the laws of gravity.
Now imagine a mathematician who stumbles on the curious fact that if you double a prime number and then halve the result, you get back the number you started with. It works for the prime number 2, for 3, for 5, for 7, for 11…. . What is it about primes, the mathematician wonders, that yields this pattern? He begins delving deeper into the properties of prime numbers…
Like our clockmaker, the mathematician is zooming in when he should be zooming out. The right question is not "Why do primes behave this way?" but "What other numbers behave this way?". Once you notice that the answer is all numbers, you've got a good chance of figuring out why they behave this way. As long as you're focused on the red herring of primeness, you've got no chance.
Now, not all problems are like that. Some problems benefit from zooming in, others from zooming out. Grothendieck was the messiah of zooming out — zooming out farther and faster and grander than anyone else would have dared to, always and everywhere. And by luck or by shrewdness, the problems he threw himself into were, time after time, precisely the problems where the zooming-out strategy, pursued apparently past the point of ridiculousness, led to spectacular, unprecedented, indescribable success. As a result, mathematicians today routinely zoom out farther and faster than anyone prior to Grothendieck would have deemed sensible. And sometimes it pays off big.
I no longer have — alas — a copy of Where the Two Came to their Father, the first volume in the Bollingen Series, with its suite of 18 sand paintings beautifully rendered in silkscreen by Maud Oakes, but their respective black and blue colorations lead me to suppose that the illustration at the head of this post, taken rom that series, shows the twin heroes, Monster Slayer (black) and Child Born of Water (blue) whose journeys and initiation are the subject of the rituasl "sing" recorded in that book.
The theme of two male hero twins is central to the mythologies of the American continent, according to Jospeh Campbell, who contributed a commentary to Oakes' recording of Jeff King's performance of this ceremony, and lacking both the King > Oakes > Campbell book and Gladys Reichard's two volumes on Navaho Religion, I must draw on brief quotes from miscellaneous web sources to dramatize the differences between the twins.
Monster Slayer is the doer of deeds, similar in nature to other masculine, not to say macho, heroes — while Child Born of Water is the contemplative of the pair:
The Sun [Jóhonaa'éí] gave them prayersticks and then told them that the younger of the two (Born for Water) would sit watching these prayersticks while the older (Monster Slayer) went out to kill the monsters. If these prayersticks began to burn, this would signal that his brother was in danger and that he should go to him to help.
Monster Slayer (na'ye' ne'zyani) (I) represents impulsive aggression, whereas Child-of-the-water represents reserve, caution, and thoughtful preparation.
A measure of their respective strategies, and of the ways in which the insights of Child Born of Water can succeed where the brute force tactics of Monster SLayer fail, can be gleaned from this section of their story, also I believe taken from Reichard:
When The Twins visited Sun the second time, he said he was willing to help them, but this time he wanted them to return the favor: "I wish you to send your mother to the west that she may make a new home for me." Whereupon Monster Slayer, believing himself equal to any task, replied, "I will do so.I will send her there." Then Child-of-the-water reminded them both: "No, Changing Woman is subject to no one? we cannot make promises for her. She must speak for herself? she is her own mistress. But I shall tell her your wishes and plead for you."
One commentator glibly suggests that the joint presentation of the hero as twins is "a clever reminder that progress depends upon cooperation between our mind and our heart" — but the psychologist Dr Howard Teich offers a far more depthful interpretation: that the two twins represent two forms of masculine heroism, one the familiar macho hero of war movies, and the other wiser and subtler, the possessor of traits commonly attributed to the feminine — and hugely undervalued — in our culture.
Dr Teich suggests we must (urgently) abandon the division of virtues into "male" and "female" types, reognize that these types are complementary rather than rivalrous, that both are necessary functions of both males' and females' psyches, and begin to integrate the wholeness that both strategies together represent, in our own approaches to our lives in general, to the natural world around us, and indeed to warfare — unsurprisingly, since we first encounter the twins in the ceremonial specifically devised by the Navajo to protect young warriors on their way to battle, and to reintegrate them in harmony and balance on their return.
As Teich puts it:
Monster Slayer and Child Born of Water, as these Twin Heroes are called, are the most sacred of all the legendary heroes in Navaho mythology. It is rare for the Navaho even to speak of the twins; their presence is to be felt rather than observed, and their lessons absorbed rather than applied. Although the lessons the twins hold may be countless, their particular manifestation of a deeper, more complex image of masculinity deserves the reader's especial attention.
I'd like to suggest that in the same way that there are "zooming in" and "zooming out" styles in mathematics, and "monster-slayer" and "born of water" styles of heroism, there are in fact twin traditions of understanding the world which we might term scientific and poetic, or in Teich's terms — and those of the alchemists — solar and lunar.
A unified or "solunary" vision will encompass the virtues of both.
Dr Teich's review of the King > Oakes > Campbell book under the title A Dual Masculinity was irst piublished in The San Francisco Jung Institute Library Journal, Vol. 13, No. 4, 1995. He now has a book out treating these themes: Solar Light, Lunar Light.
Oh, and please don't expect me to know anything more about Grothendieck's mathematics than I read in Landsburg's article.

Over-60s get in the swing at Kirkgate
Last updated at 20:45, Thursday, 29 March 2012
More than 60 people attended an afternoon of jazz and swing at the Kirkgate Centre in Cockermouth last Thursday, in the latest in a series of events aimed at the over-60s.
The series, organised by Arts and Allsorts, have featured film, theatre, music and other activities with refreshments laid on.
The idea is to provide entertainment and social events for older people, particularly those who feel isolated and unwilling to go out in the evenings.
Jazz band Swing Thing performed.
Janet Sheppard, 71, of St Helen's Street, said: "We came for the music and dancing and thoroughly enjoyed it. The last event was wonderful and we will be coming back."
David Holt, 66, of Dale View, Cockermouth, said: "I enjoy most sorts of music and I have been coming since the start."
Gilli Goodfellow, community engagement officer at the Kirkgate, and charity Age UK has organised the over-60s events.
She said: "We want to encourage more people to come along."
Future events include a fascinator hat workshop on April 19 and the film Ladies in Lavender on May 17.

McChrystal's PR campaign for COIN is failing miserably. (photo: ISAFMedia)
Protests in the Surkhrod district of Nangarhar province of Afghanistan over a night raid Thursday night have left at least one protester dead at the hands of Afghan police. There is a very significant change in the primary press coverage of this event. In a reversal of the initial reporting after the Gardez raid which killed two pregnant women, reports from the New York Times, Reuters and BBC all lead with witness claims of civilian deaths and then move to NATO claims that only insurgents were killed in the raid.
Here is how Derrick Crowe described the eventual unraveling of the original NATO story on the Gardez raid:
Initially, ISAF claimed that "insurgents" "engaged the joint force in a fire fight and were killed." The release states the special forces then made a "gruesome discovery," finding "the bodies of three women who had been tied up, gagged and killed" and that the bodies had been "hidden." They also claim that the "joint force immediately secured the area and requested expert medical support and will conduct a joint forensic investigation."
Almost every piece of this initial description of the chain of events was later proved to be a lie.
Faced with the persistent, professional reporting of The Times' (UK) Jerome Starkey, multiple witness accounts of the incident and the results of an Afghan investigation, McChrystal's personnel finally admitted responsibility in an April 4 press release. ISAF wants to pass off their initial lies about the incident as the unfortunate result of "cultural misunderstandings" and "poor wording." McChrystal has ordered a new investigation, but his personnel's recent behavior shows exactly why they cannot be trusted to investigate themselves.
The earliest New York Times report on the Gardez incident quotes only NATO and Afghan police, with no civilian comments.
Note the contrast, then, in how the stories on Thursday night's raid in Surkhrod is described. Here is Reuters:
Police shot dead a an Afghan protester in eastern Afghanistan on Friday after hundreds of villagers demonstrated against NATO raids which they said killed 11 civilians overnight, a local official said.
Crowds of men marched through the streets of Surkhrod district in Nangahar province, with chants like "Death to Americans, Long Live the Taliban" and pelted stones at government buildings before they were fired on by police.
Five more paragraphs intervene before Reuters repeats the NATO description of the raid:
NATO-led forces said an overnight operation had taken place in Surkhrod district and that only insurgents had been killed, including a Taliban sub-commander, and no civilians had been harmed.
The New York Times article also places witness claims that the dead were civilians ahead of US claims they were insurgents, but puts them in successive paragraphs:
Eleven civilians were killed in a night raid by American troops in the eastern province of Nangarhar, sparking protests on Friday morning that turned violent, resulting in at least one and possibly two more deaths, according to accounts from witnesses and protesters.
A spokesman for the American military, Lt. Col. Joseph T. Breasseale, said the victims in the night raid were insurgents, including a Taliban sub-commander, but he did not give a precise death toll. He said they were killed in a firefight after refusing orders from a joint Afghan and NATO force to come out of the house they were in. Two insurgents were wounded and captured, he said.
The construction of that lede sentence in the New York Times is especially interesting, as the reader first is told that eleven civilians were killed and it is not until the end of the sentence that the statement is attributed to witnesses and protesters. In contrast, the Times is more careful to flag the US military explanation before it is repeated.
Finally, BBC also reports the civilian claims before NATO claims:
Hundreds of villagers in the Afghan province of Nangarhar are protesting over a Nato raid on Thursday, which they claim killed several civilians.
There is no independent confirmation of the death toll but local estimates vary from six to 11 dead.
Nato officials confirmed an operation targeted a Taliban hideout, but said they were not aware of civilian deaths.
With the size and the violence of the Surkhrod protest, it appears that Afghan citizens have lost faith in the ability of night raids to target only insurgents. Was the Gardez incident the final straw for press credibility of US military or NATO statements on night raids? If both Afghan citizens and the press have lost faith in the accuracy of raid targeting and raid reporting, what options are left in McChrystal's failing COIN strategy?
