This is great news. All should wish the Iraqui people well.

Why does the lamestream media insist on calling the terrorists "insurgents"? The large majority of them aren't of Iraqui origin and the few who are tend to be motivated as much by financial gain as anything else?

And let's not forget the CENTCOM statement that was quickly dropped, ignored, and buried by the MSM.

Large numbers of the captees from the Sunni triangle are found to have opiates in their systems.

Not to mention that other one-time, one-shot story: younger Iraqi inductees into the "insurgency" are "abused" (ahem) by the older "foreign fighters."

Because by calling them "insurgents" the lamestream media are able to imply (and quite wrongly so) that it is the Iraqi people want us out of their country and we are the source of all the unrest there.
