8:00 pm - Calling it a "shadow war" involving "shadowy people who don't want to be found," Pentagon spokesman Rear Adm. John Stufflebeem admitted that the war in Afghanistan had become clouded by confusion. Referring to charges by local Afghan officials that a recent missile attack launched from a CIA unmanned aircraft had killed innocent villagers instead of top al Qaeda leaders, Pentagon spokeswoman Victoria Clarke stated, "It's impossible to say these people are on this side and these people are on the other side. People are on multiple sides, and they switch sides. There was a great deal of confusion about information in general, and we do always try to get to ground truth."
