#2 About 10 days ago, a senior "officer" in the Falluja Brigade was quoted (NYT, I think) that part of the brokered deal between the armed killers in Falluja and the US Marines would include a 'face-saving' US convoy through the city's center on May 10.

So now we have this excerpt from the article:

U.S. Marines made an effort to show they have restored peace to the Sunni Muslim city of Falluja by driving an armored convoy into the center for the first time since a bloody siege last month. But scenes of armed guerrillas cheering the convoy's departure, suggested that peace remains rather fragile.
