1. My God, Iraq is just one big body dump. How horrifying would it be to have
to live like this? Raise your kids around this?

10. Uhhh... have you read ANY of the comments that follow his
articles???

Rants about the only truth to be found about Iraq are from Yon and FOX? Rants from end-timers about how Iraq is what we get for being full of sin and turning away from god?

Also, I find it strange that anyone killed (according to Mr. Yon) in a village before we get there was killed by "Al Qaeda".
In fact, to read his report, you'd come away thinking that the only people we (as Americans in the MNF) fight are "al Qaeda".

He never mentions that the real Al Qaeda was not in Iraq before we invaded, nor does he say that even now, real Al Qaeda fighters in Iraq number far less than the bushco media would have everyone believe.

8. Try looking for indications of lead poisoning . Look in the back of their heads
60 decomposing bodies indicate they were not fresh kills imo.

6. Baquba is an al Queda stronghold they say
"The surge" of deaths move into AQ strongholds so were they Sunni collaborators ?

Torture, murder, gore, It's all part of "winning" the war on terror - apparently by instilling terror with terrorific murders.
