ya smell that?

do you ever get the feeling that when you're reading a story, and there's something you're not being told?  i got that when i read about the 16 victims in afghanistan.
 
here, see for yourself:
The Chinook went down around 2:30 p.m. about 100 miles southwest of Kabul in a desert plain near the city of Ghazni, she said. Eighteen crew members and passengers were listed on the flight manifest, 16 of whom have been confirmed dead, according to officials. The two others remained unaccounted for when recovery operations were called off for the night.

The names of the dead are being withheld pending notification of their families, officials said. According to Moore, military investigators had not determined the nationalities or the military branches of those killed.

The Associated Press quoted the police chief of Ghazni, Abdul Rahman Sarjang, as saying that all of the dead were wearing U.S. military uniforms.

Moore said there was "no indication" the crash was caused by enemy fire. The second helicopter arrived at Bagram without incident.

they were all uniformed, and the quoted no indication of enemy fire, yet the 2nd helo didn't try to help?  and why is this story coming by the AP with quotes from a POLICE OFFICER???
