Just sent this off to the Guardian, not that they'll care.

Reference your article entitled US Ransack Sunni Mosque, apparently your reporter in Baghdad is merely collecting his paycheck and failing to actually do any work before submitting an article to you. He claimes that only a few AK 47's and a few granades were found but the actual take was as follows:

Regarding the operation at the Al-Tabul Mosque, on 1 January, coalition forces, led off by Iraqi Civil Defense Corps personnel and the Iraqi police, conducted a cordon-and-search of the Al-Tabul Mosque. The following equipment was seized from the mosque: five sticks of high-explosive PE-4; three packages of TNT; one case of blasting caps; three bags of gunpowder; eight improvised grenades; a small roll of detonation cord; one case of 155-millimeter artillery primers; improved -- improvised explosive device materials, to include nine-volt batteries and unidentified propellants; 11 AK- 47s; two SKS rifles; two RPG launchers; a 60-millimeter mortar tube; various mortar sights; a 120-millimeter mortar bipod and base plate; an SA-7 missile trainer; 20 AK-47 magazines; 3,500 7.62 rounds; and additional items of intelligence value.

He could have easily obtained this list had he done something other than drink at the local bar and make up his story to you. How terribly embarrassing for you as an editor to be so publically humiliated like this. Terribly sorry.

Perhaps it might make them think a little before they publish such obvious lies.

"Americans might have the latest technology, but they make little effort to understand people's souls," he said."

We understand you quite well nut man. Grenade for self defense? ROFL these guys deserve a reality tv series, it could be called, "Dumb and Backward". At the very least someone needs to string together a book of funniest lies of the third world Islamics, the author could call it "Dumb Lies and the Lying Liars that tell Them".

US Soldiers Ransack Sunni Mosque...

------------------------

They should burn tham all to the ground as a service to the world and an act of freeing the minds of muslims. Say it was the will of allah or it wouldn't have happened.

"They even took our nuts,"

That would explain the soprano call to prayer.

Step 1: I read the first two lines.
Step 2: I notice that it came from the Guardain(UK). This explains the obvious pro-terrorist bias. It also completely blows any credibility out the window.
Step 3: I get to the line about the nuts, skip the rest of the article and check the posts for jokes! Hehe

The raid has served to increase the anger and frustration of Iraq's Sunnis, who feel marginalised and discriminated against in post-Saddam Iraq.

Poor Sunnis.

They treated the Shiites and the Kurds like animals and killed and raped them for decades and now they are .....sniff .....gulp ......sob ......"marginalized".

Oh, the humanity!
