NPR News this morning had a report from one of their reporters in Baghdad. He told Bob Edwards that the Marines found a building filled with weapons, bomb-making supplies, and letters home. Edwards wanted to focus on this, and the reporter seemed hesitant to commit to a conclusion.
“Yes, Bob. It appears that in this particular town, in this particular building, there were indications that some of the fighters came from other countries. I can’t say with any certainty that’s the case in other areas where fighting is going on, but in this particular location, it appears there may have been foreigners involved.”
Does the word “Duh” mean anything to you? We would certainly hate to let it leak out that the Iraqis aren’t involved in a mass uprising after all, wouldn’t we? I guess they were really just “alleged” fighters.
