Rebels attack U.S. convoy outside Fallujah, witnesses said

REBELS??!! I think not. The term "rebel" gives them the air of legitimacy of cause.

Rebels? No, I would not have chosen that word. I would draw attention to my post #43. This is from a fellow who works for the same company that the four contractors worked for. From the description of the four men killed it would seem that this man was not one of the casualties.

Note that he says that "many of the attacks in and around Fallujah often have turned out to be natives of Jordan, Iran, Syria, and of the embattled Russian-controlled area of Chechnya." This spells al-Qaeda (al-Zarqawi) to me. That doesn't mean that yesterday's attack was al-Qaeda, and certainly the thugs who committed the atrocities in the aftermath could hardly be called al-Qaeda, but I don't think it is quite so simple to call this an attack from Saddam regime, Baathist holdovers.

Let's just call them terrorists.
