That was tripe Kev, I wouldn't even call it second rate yellow journalism. It was obviously slanted, as though objectivity was burdensome, and worse yet, inaccurate and misleading. :/


"U.S. military officials are repeatedly urging troops to avoid any conduct that would prompt Iraqis to turn against coalition forces. However, some such incidents already have occurred, such as bombings that have struck civilians, or the two episodes last week in which U.S. forces shot and killed civilians at checkpoints."

That paragraph alone is so reaching, its obvious the guy is searching for reasons to crucify the actions of our troops overseas who have, largely, managed to behave as civil as possible in a war zone. Nothing even close to the atrocities committed in the Chosin River Reservoir or the action of ROK Marines during Vietnam. How can you possible compare live fire from soldier who can see their targets, with a missile fired from a position of 30,000 feet? Protecting a strongpoint in command base from what appeared to a be suicide bombing run, after the same command had been hit once already, is made to sound like some sort of execution order carried out in cold blood.

GA is right. This is trash.
