Greg Palcott on FoxNews phone report from Fallujah:

quiet nite

still allot of work to do

1200+ 'insurgents' have been killed, at least 24 American troops

2 hour firefight earlier 'today' in central Fallujah

almost no civilians present in the area

terrorists could filter back in when they start letting the 300k residents return

Right now, US troops occupy entire city

Spirit of troops: tough 7 days, grueling, holding up ok. Tired, warn out, but holding up.

another phone report (Brett Baer). Some (3) US injured from booby-trapped doorway into one house.

The sad thing is you will hear a lot more about the 24 than

you will the 1,200, should not work that way.

If a door of a house is booby trapped (wheter or not we sustain injury) the house should be leveled.
