U.S. forces carried out a massive raid yesterday to crush a vicious Iraqi crime ring responsible for a string of terror bombings, gun running - and the murder of a local prostitute servicing U.S. troops.

U.S. forces carried out a massive raid yesterday to crush a vicious Iraqi crime ring responsible for a string of terror bombings, gun running - and the murder of a local prostitute servicing U.S. troops.

What is the author trying to say here, that the real reason the Army took out this crime ring is revenge?

Not that it is implausible that she was working the morale maintainance angle with some of the local GIs, but the source of this information is the warlord that was just busted. The military does not appear to have been asked to verfiy the claim.

Does the Post consider the U.S. Army less reliable than an Iraqi criminal warlord?
