"I think there's going to be a big fight tonight, so get your heads ready to get back in the game," said Juarez, from San Diego. "These (insurgents) are pushing the offensive right now. We've got to get ready."

This is amazing. The f'ing journalist will not even allow the word 'terrorist' in a direct quote of a Marine captain.

Either that, or the Marine used a more, uh, colorful term and the reporter had to bleep it out.

I wouldn't call him journalist, then. Any journalist worth his salt would recognize just what we were dealing with here and call it plainly and objectively just as it is. He would use words like terrorist and murderer. But I think we've all see we're not dealing with true journalists here, and we never have been.
