#1 US officials say that in most cases the Afghans who turn their guns on their allies are motivated not by sympathy for Taliban or on orders from insurgents, but rather act as a result of personal grievances against the coalition.

We shall NOT use the term "Taliban Infiltrator".... we shall NOT, we shall NOT! We will use the word "grievance" instead, and liken it to a conflict where blame can be shared and resolution successfully mediated.

#2 Marine from West Chester killed in Afghanistan
The Marine Corps informed Sgt. John Patrick (JP) Huling’s mother, Debbie Huling, on Sunday that he was killed while on foot patrol in Anwar Province. He was shot to death Sunday, likely at close range, by a suspected Taliban member who appeared to be an Afghan National Army police officer, she said military officials told her.

He was flown to a hospital but died about an hour later.

It appears Sgt. Huling will be buried in Ohio.

#3 I don't think they are Taliban entirely. Oh sure some of them are. But the increase in attacks coincided, it seems, with Obama's change of the RoE and his "Afghan surge".
