| U.S.-Iraqi Raid Nets 65 Suspected, um, Terrs |
| 2005-04-11 |
| AP, per their stylebook, called them insurgents and militants. Terrs works better. Hundreds of U.S. and Iraqi forces on Monday launched their biggest Baghdad raid in recent weeks, moving on foot through a central neighborhood and rounding up dozens of suspected insurgents, the military said. About 500 members of Iraq's police and army swept through buildings in the Rashid neighborhood along with a "couple hundred" American soldiers, detaining 65 suspected militants, said Lt. Col. Clifford Kent of the U.S. Army's 3rd Infantry Division. One Iraqi soldier was injured but no American casualties were reported in the largest joint raid in Iraq's capital by U.S. and Iraqi forces since the Fort Stewart, Ga.-based division assumed responsibility for the city on Feb. 27, Kent said. One suspected insurgent was also being treated for wounds, the military said in a statement. ...more - unrelated to the headline, of course. Hey, it's AP. |

| #8 Many of these jokers are not even terrorists they are just criminals and thugs. Some of these raids are quality of life actions. |

| #6 Excuse me, but the currently correct term is not "terrorists." It's "CBS stringers." |

| #4 I really don't understand the MSM continuing to call these murderers insurgents. They are not. They are terrorists plain and simple. I guess "insurgent" fits more with their seemingly pro- terrorist position. Ba, I also went to Auburn, School of Articture. |

| #1 The important thing here is that there were far more Iraqis than Americans on the raid.That is an important development on many levels. |
