Iraqi Secret Police archives come to light. And we still hear the pro-Saddam crowd say this war is completely unnecessary. They should forever hold their peace.

"These people who are fighting, they come from Syria, Jordan, Yemen and Egypt," Muhammad said. "They are in a wrong situation. They told them in Syria and those places that the Americans were destroying buildings, killing people and children. Saddam and his helpers told them Americans are killing Iraqi people. They get guns, and they are fighting America.

"Please don't kill them," Muhammad said. "Get them a chance to live. Catch them, put them in prison. We want peace and quiet."

Uh, if we let these guys live WE won't have any peace and quiet.... unless they have seen the light. I.e., unless there is credible evidence they will return to the home countries and tell the REAL truth and try to set the record straight...that the U.S. and U.K. went out of its way to spare civilians and their property and infrastructure from harm...and generally succeeded at doing so.

A merchant who called himself Muhammad approached a military captain and then a reporter. He asked that the Americans take steps quickly to assert control over the city, saying that order was on the verge of breaking down. There had been some looting, he reported, and the need for water and electricity was urgent. Both had been unavailable for about three days.

These people need help, but the worst thing we could do is send in the U.N. Libya is directing the Human Rights committee, Iraq is heading the disarmament committee....

Unearth it all and shove it in the face of the world, particularly the leaders of all the nations that tried to stop us from liberating Iraq. This is absolutely crucial to our future.

Don't know how this slipped into the Times, but you can bet the coverup will begin soon. They're still a little bit disoriented there from the speed with which this happened. These incidents have to be thrown into the face of the Dems who have been attacking Bush for this war. Repeatedly, until even WE are sick of doing it. Wonder how DU is reacting?

'In Najaf, the soldiers had tied demolition explosives to a similar statue, then stepped aside to permit a former colonel in the Iraqi Army to detonate the bombs'

Beautiful.

Then the local Iraqis need to get ahold of them and convince them they're in the wrong. If they do that in time, they can surrender and we'll let them go home. Of course, they can only go home if they tell them the truth at home.
