#2  "...the vehicle approached the roadblock in the city of Baiji at high speed and the driver ignored warnings to stop."

The driver deliberately brought fire down upon the van. It was a suicide mission replete with a child hostage.

#1  Hummm from the article: Correspondents say the US military presence is unpopular among many of the Iraqi population, because of what is seen as the heavy-handed use of force by US troops.

And just who are these Correspondents that seem to be the expert on Iraqis' feelings? Seems to me, the GI's coming home, both enlisted and officers, are reporting that the Iraqis really do like them.
