1. The U.S. always claims the insergants forced people to fight or be killed

But these insurgents take over authority in these towns and perform the function of law enforcement. The only catch is the law and order the insurgents provide is designed to root out those who are caught collaborating with Americans. It's harsh but just think how many Iraqis died at the U.S. prisons, and how many others arrested just for speeking out against the U.S. and the Iraqi Interim Govt., law and order right?
