#3 Great minds think alike, Anon. We posted at the same time.

Besides, good news like this is worth a duplicate post.

#4 Anyone found dead, but not wearing a suicide vest, must be a civilian.

#10 Actually, Sinan's a real person - I dealt with him when I was there.

What I pushed for relentlessly (and of course, mostly, in vain) for MNF-I public affairs to do was to include an aggressive, clear statement in each situation like this that Coalition forces did their utmost to avoid non-combatant casualties but that the sytematic, deliberate behavior of our various enemies - which in itself constitutes a war crime - in mixing their forces in with civilians was to blame for civilian deaths. Public affairs people generally refuse to recognize that in this disinformation environment, with a world seemingly glad to be misled and ignorant about who the bad guys are, we need a very aggressive, unapologetic, educational approach. The media filter, which has largely become a giant distortion mechanism, can still be overcome with enough repetition and determination to make the coverage itself a news issue.
