In Sadr City, Stalking the Enemy Lair -WP

[Rose Siding]

BAGHDAD, Oct. 2 -- The column of armored trucks jumped the curb, cut across a dirt-and-gravel soccer field and made its way north into the maze of narrow streets.

A full moon cast shadows across Sadr City, the insurgent-controlled Baghdad slum. Headlights turned off for stealth, the vehicles crossed into a pitch-dark lot surrounded by abandoned buildings. The lot was filled with reeking garbage and clusters of glaring men.

"Man, I don't like driving across this field," muttered Anthony Stewart, a 31-year-old platoon sergeant from Sumter, S.C., speaking softly, glancing uneasily from side to side. "Yeah," replied the driver, Sgt. Nick Varney, 23, of Ridgecrest, Calif. "It's an easy place to get ambushed."

The mission, as viewed by a Washington Post reporter who rode along on four Humvee patrols this week, is at once monotonous, exhausting and, in moments, terrifying. This is the war as it is being fought all across Iraq: American soldiers venturing out of their bases into dangerous streets, confronting myriad unseen risks. They face improvised bombs secreted under the pavement and in unmarked vehicles, mortars and rockets fired by the hundreds, teams of insurgents using light machine guns and rocket-propelled grenades. This week brought a spasm of new violence that raised the death toll of American personnel in Iraq to 1,059.

1. Man, I don't like driving across this field,

Then just fucking walk away from it. This is an illegal and immoral war.
These poor people aren't at war with us, and these military guys aren't defending us.

2. You're right, but read on

This article also shows the side of the military that Moore showed in F-911. It's a year late, but it's good.

4. Explaining move

I believe that this is more of a feature article, not breaking news.
Moving to Editorials and Other Articles. It's a good article, and it will stay up longer there.
