taken to another building by up to half a dozen Fedayeen rebels then shot twice in the back

Rebels? The Fedayeen could not be rebels at that point, this was the invasion period, they were run by one of Sadaam's demonic sons. The Sadaam regime was still the government. Another example of media bias or, at best, moronic reporting.

Right. The Fedayeen at that time were uniformed military. As such, they were bound by the same Geneva Conventions we were (are).

Not only were they not rebels, but they were members of Saddam's personal army.

This may be a simple writing error, or it may be a subliminal nod to the latest leftist meme project: that Iraqis miss Saddam and wish he was still in power.

Stories detailing the millions of atrocities of Saddam and his minions are not carried, because doing so might inadvertently "legitimize" the U.S.-led war. Clearly, very few members of the commercial media want to do that.

That, and of course the related meme: that the War in Iraq has made terrorism worse and put America at greater risk of terrorist attack.
