So essentially, someone with this point of view would believe that Coalition forces are responsible for any civilians the insurgents target? Pretty shaky reasoning, don't you think?

Not hostility. Distrust. Given their obvious bias, I simply wouldn't take anything they say on faith. Not "knee-jerk" either. Al-Jazeera has a distinguished track record of reporting from "their own little bubble of perception." |
Let us, at least, have an honest discussion (I have a higher opinion of you than this, above, would warrant).
You know my earlier quote was qualified by the following (which you choose to selectively omit); 'if they, in fact, directly caused these injuries'.
I agree - trust as credible none in their own little bubble.
