To me - I just cannot understand how the torture, mutilation, and beheading of our servicemen doesn't make the front page, while those "other" pictures do - over-and-over...
I hear about a dead civilian in Iraq. Is there a card or dog tags that members of the "insurgency" carry?
Or is the media attempting to distinguish domestic terrorists in Iraq from those who flooded in from other countries to do the murdering that Iraqi citizens wouldn't do.
Answer. They are ALL civilians (whether they are Iraqi or from elsewhere). SOME are alligned with the "insurgents" and SOME are alligned with Iraq (the new frame of government which the US is helping to stablize).
But telling me someone is a civilian doesn't tell me he is innocent. Sgt. Akbar was enlisted and killed several US officers. The DC sniper duo were civilians and killed several US citizens.
