A Matter Of Trust

A new controversy of sorts has erupted in Afghanistan.

The Taliban claims that as many as 18 civilians were killed by NATO forces during a recent battle. NATO, on the other hand, claims that the Taliban is vastly exaggerating those numbers. So who's right?

I'm inclined to believe the Taliban. After all, they have traditionally shown great concern about harming innocent civilians. More importantly, if you can't trust a deeply religious group such as the Taliban, who can you trust?
