Some of us have made it clear from the beginning that concerns about soldiers being ambushed have been highly exaggerated. It makes for a clean story and excuse, but there is just no evidence to back up that claim.

Making it "clear" doesn't make it true. You figure Col. West acted just because he want to screw around with the Iraqi collaberator, and have some fun? Then reported the incident to his superiors?

It is true, and when the entire story is told, you will know it. I dont have to 'figure' anything, and this story that Col. West went running off to report on himself, is just laughable. West may be winning the PR game at the expense of the Army, but in the end there will be no winners.
