#1 Anyone who allows him or herself to be called a "rapporteur" by the press ought to have the common decency to kill themselves, thus sparing their families the ignominy of having produced such a worthless and malicious blight upon humanity.

#2 Of course, the UN rapper (or whatever his title is) did not bother to talk to the Taliban, who a) hide among civilians in violation of the rules of war, and b) deliberately target civilians.
I am sure that most of the civilian casualties from NATO were unexpected collateral damage, rather than deliberate acts. And that the NATO forces work very hard to minimize civilian casualties.
