I would expect that this was committed by insurgents who go ahold of US uniforms.
We do not execute women and children. We do not tie their hands behind their backs and we certainly do not use Dumdum bullets.
This is pure BS.
The problem is that the police are totally infiltrated by insurgents. They can use their official titles to blames the US and spread propaganda.
The Philadelphia Inquirer story is an example. Now the Times and their Jihadist reporters.
One thing: the US has absolutely decide how to deal with a hostile world media when fighting a war.
From "P fromP's linked article:
"Both sides and neighbors agree that U.S. troops were involved in a firefight with a suspected member of al-Qaeda in Iraq."
It's evidently what exactly happened, not any doubt about who was present. All sides, including US, concur that Us troops were involved. It's what they were involved in that is now being discussed.
it's all about obtaining compensation from the military, big bucks are paid out for family members with hardly any questions asked. I do believe the MSM loves this nonsense to encourage,incite and rally the enemy to kill our boys so it can all be blamed on Dubya and his "illegal war"
