#1 Wow - that's a completely different story. I guess the "reporter" couldn't wait and filed his hit piece as soon as his friends had killed off the policemen, who should be mourned.

I'll bet that Wretchard and Malkin will both jump on this 180 deg turnaround. Will it get the same "play" as the first pathetic "reporting"? I doubt it.

Thanks, FrankG!

#2 Note to insurgants. Please keep following the same battle plan. Over and over. Americans are stupid. We fall for it every time. Really. Honest.

#3 Actually, Frank, I think it's 2 different attacks, one yesterday and one today. Looks like they were ready for them today.

#4 I hope the Iraqis kick their criminal justice system into high gear and start trachea-tweaking these tiresome turdballs.

#6 when Iraqi troops do this without us they may accidentally kill about half of the prisoners and two thirds of the attackers.

#8 One suspects that at least one report of yesterday's insurgent deaths may have been exaggerated.

#11 If you kill them they lose value as intel assets.

Also they lose value as bait.

Also they might have kinfolk in the govt. and the death might inspire said kinfolk to aid the terrorists.

You mean more than said kinfolk are already aiding their [formerly not dead] cousins on the outside?

#15 Article: Four police were killed, including the commander of the special unit, and five were wounded, al-Mohammadawi said.

Wonder if this was friendly fire.

#16 Four police were killed, including the commander of the special unit...

If they are being trained by the US, then he was at the front with his men. I wouldn't put it past friendly fire, but these guys are starting to think and act like western soldiers.
