#1 Snipers and video cameras? Hmmm....

It's been a tough week for the insurgent snuff film business, in spite of recent media coverage in the target market. Beyond that, this is exactly the kind of small-scale success that happens every day in Iraq but which seems to fall below the radar horizon of the western media.

#2 Amen, AC. Sweet to take all of 'em down. Now if we don't officially turn the four (temporary) suvivors over to the Iraqis, they will stay out of the game.

#3 It's nice to question the suspects, but I suspect the Iraqi government will let them go.

#6 How can they be snipers with machine guns and RPGs ?
Is 'free lance shooter' an alternate definition for sniper ?
Whatever, they should not see the light of day again.

#7 I don't believe in coincidences. CNN plays video and a few days later we capture a bunch of snipers? And they had a video camera? Almost as if we have CNN watched as they made the deal in the first place and followed the delivery boy back to the store.
