Terrorists kill innocents at random.
Iraqis kill terrorists.
Not a big surprise. The terrorists designed the rules of engagement, it's their game and their rules.
'Arrest' them? It's not a severe case of vandalism, it's life or death for the Iraqis.
This is war...shoot them. We can not afford due proccess for terrorists.
Great story posted inline here by Straight Vermonter . I hope it’s true after hearing about "terrorist detentions” becoming a virtual joke because of our quick releases.

If the investigation turns up evidence for the extrajudicial killings, the US should spare no effort to see to it that the Iraqi armed forces personnel involved are given a ticker tape parade.
Also, no blood sucking lawyaers to deal with.

They are starting to have a shortage of virgins also.
Every time our liberal media hears a rumor and hollers that women and children were killed, the senior Washington brass puts together a blue-ribbon commission to investigate and issue a 400 page report to blame somebody. In order to throw the entire US military into an uproar and disrupt an entire war effort, all the enemy has to do is issue a formal complaint. Pretty sad.
we need to send theACLU over to help assist the freedom fighters.
If some of Mike Savage's listeners step back and look how the US is fighting the insurgency, one will conclude that the US leaders are not as stupid as one thinks. From day one when the US commanders realize that the Sunnis and foreign fighters were turning the war into an insurgency they realize that we had major disadvantages. One, insurgencies are dirty wars and ruthless things have to be done in order to win, two, US society and politics will not allow such things to be done, three, with these limitations our forces will be grind down by hit and run attacks and in the end demoralized. I think that is why in the beginning we switched gears from a post World War II occupation strategy to turning Iraq over to an interim Iraqi goverment and helping them to train a large standing army and police to eventually do all the fighting and US draw down and leave a smaller force to back up the new Iraqi forces. The usage of Iraqi forces have several advantages, one they speak the language and understand the nuances of the locality, two if they kill or beat up an Iraqi, it is acceptable to the Arab world for an Arab to beat up an Arab then a infidel doing it, three there is no PC limits for Iraqi soldiers when it comes to dealing with insurgents and insurgent POW. There are still legitimate pros and cons amongst conservatives on the US involvement in Iraq, but I think the US planners have learned well from Vietnam by not having the US do all the fighting, but concentrated on building a pro US native force and letting them do their own fighting. The Iraqi army is growning larger with each passing month (97,000 in Dec 2003 to 180 000 currently, and 200,000 plus by Dec 2005, imagine its size by June 2006) and after two plus years of fighting it has developed a core of veteran junior leaders and NCO's. From a military view, the Iraqi forces have turned a milestone since mid 2005 and is here to stay as long as the US continues technical and financial support. There are people bemoaning the US mistakes but Zarqawi made many major blunders. Insurgencies will succeed if the local population provides them support, but his willingness to suicide bomb and kill tens of thousands of innocent Iraqi civilians in order to kill two thousand coalition soldiers has underminded this support and violates the most basic tenet to guerilla warfare. Politically Zarqawi blew it with the Iraqi people (even the Sunnis). The US is in position to take advantage of this unless its leftwing and MSM underminds her will to win.

The prisoners apparently tried to escape and were shot. No?
But I thought we were already at that level with the women's panties on their head!!!
