Right...not only the biased reporting (Najaf does not "lie in ruins", and if it does, it sure as heck isn't our fault...hello? Sad'r?? you're fighting your own people...) but the consequences these soccer players will face when they get back home to good old Fallujah...you'd darned well better say the insurgents are "freedom fighters," at least at the moment...

I'd be interested too in who their new "coach" is, as well as how the "interview questions" were framed, and who the translator is...

Interesting you bring that up - their former coach was a European - who was warned by "freedom fighters" that if he came into Iraq to coach them, he would be killed (such charming people, those freedom fighters).

I firmly believe that if they go any further than just saying they are glad Saddam is gone, and say "we are glad the US liberated Iraq", their lifespans will be measured in days.

No "freedom fighter" would standby and allow national heroes, such as the soccer players, to give any thanks or credit to the US.
