<< RUZGAN, Afghanistan, Jan. 27 - No American had visited this mountain-ringed town recently, residents said today, until early Thursday, when helicopters dangling Humvees descended from the sky and spilled shouting, shooting Special Operations forces into two small compounds, a mile and a half apart. Two hours later, 21 local soldiers were dead and 27 others had been captured and taken away. At daybreak, when neighbors and a few who escaped the carnage ventured back to inspect the damage, they said they found the charred bodies of more than a dozen men who had been shot and burned in the rooms of one of the compounds. Townspeople said they had also found two bodies outside the compound, their hands tied behind them with strips of tough white plastic. >> It was obviously a turkey shoot. No one was shooting back, or our enviable record of no casualties other than a guy who got a bullet in the ankle. That was probably a ricochet, as soldiers do not aim for the feet. Our military behavior in Afghanistan is beginning to look like our fighters have lots of energy, but very poor leadership.
