#4 TW: Now why didn't I think of that? :-)

I guess I'm asking if these guys killed any of the good guys, in what kind of numbers, etc. Is this going to put a serious crimp in the bad guy's ability to mess with the good guys?

#5 Oh, well if you're going to ask technical questions, gorb, I yield the floor to someone who actually knows what they're talking about in these matters. ;-) The only thing I know is that the bad guys have legacy snipers who used to work for Saddam Hussein. It would be nice if these were them - apparently they're quite good and are responsible for an uncomfortable number of successful kills of our guys.
