Not only are the statements and sources reported in this article quite dubious, as WTH has pointed out, there is a quite simple solution to the problem.
The Geneva Conventions prescribe rules for conducting warfare. If the terrorists would follow these rules, such as wearing uniforms and avoiding civilians during conduct of military operations, they, the terrorists, could virtually eliminate any confusion leading to civilian deaths.
Perhaps Cook and ITT could use their influence with their friends, the terrorists, to follow existing international rules? Convincing President Bush to lay-off of the head-hunters and practitioners of human sacrifice is obviously not going to work.

No proof? They identified what was left of the men as local village guards. Not Al Qaeda.. It’s amazing the USA can murder thousands of civillians and it’s the Iraqi’s fault… They don’t want the USA there. Leave. Duh.

Just more lies from the USA. Almost NO Al Qaeda in Iraq. Just a pathetic oil theft by the Bush Oil Regime.

realityhutrs,
Oil? Consider this?
We are hearing that 70 pct of the US public want us to pull out of Iraq.
Claims like yours that we are there for the oil are more true than most of us will admit.
While 3,000 to 4,000 troops have died since the invasion in 2003…

WTH, as usual you only count the number of USA troops that have died, and choose to ignore the number of Irak soldiers, civilians and children who had the stupid idea of being born on a land which has “your” oil under it.
Perhaps it wouldn’t be such a bad idea to bike so you could reduce the number of people who die in auto accidents.
And yes, you are right, we don’t have to like the reality you mention, and no, we don’t want to learn to live with it because many of us haven’t given up our hopes to live like true human beings, instead of justifying all your country’s psychotic behaviors.

Maria,
As usual you choose to believe the US is responsible for any and all deaths in a land where people wrap themselves in a bomb and kill indescriminately.
Think about it.

Well: all please stop, think, what the journalist is tryring to convey? Surely, it is not objective, which I sorely feel sorry for whom the mentor of this fella might be. These are fathers and brothers, uncles, sisters, mothers, not just numbers- need i go on? They both had lives to live, and dreams to fufill.
Some of the “US” troops were just trying to scape by, because there was no other way to make a living in the “great american dream”. if you don’t know someone or have the money to spend on a college degree. Believe me i was there. And the people that are stuck in Iraq. They are scared as hell. They hear double speak , and slander from the american media; but they see no peace corps come to help build bridges, and no strong leader to bring Iraqi’s together as one nation.

iamaman,
First of all thank you for your service. It must be confusing and demoralizing to hear all the 24/7 media noise and mixed messages when over there. It is bad enough to try to sort them out here, but I remember how much more difficult it was when mixed with rumors and partial news in letters.
I often think about how much of a shock this must be to those who thought the college money was a good deal and never thought they would be called up.
We were on 24 hr alert for a year when the Berlin Wall went up, but it cooled down and I didn
