Did I hear this on NOW?

[Union Thug]

Anyone watching the discussion about Fallujah, where it was stated (if I heard right) that people are being shot on site if on the street after curfew?

Sounds like Nazi occupation tactics to me. Please tell me I'm wrong and it was just my imagination...

2. Meet the new boss

Same as the old boss.

Seems the lyrics to that old Who song are most appropriate today.

3. if they have a gun is what i heard him say the truck was broadcasting

[AbbeyRoad]

10. Yes they will be shot on sight if...

they are seen in the street with a gun.

I heard the same thing on All Things Considered on NPR this afternoon.

4. Shot? Curfew?

It's their f*cking country!!! :mad:

But they hate us for our freedom, right? :eyes:

[acmavm]

5. Seriously, this can't be true. Because if it is, that would seem to me to

be a war crime.

15. Once again,

shooting people who have guns is *not* a war crime. According to the Geneva Convention, anyone with a gun is considered a combattant and can be shot.

16. Umm, the post didnt say....

"shooting people with guns", it said "shooting people on the street after curfew".

6. Stupid question alert

What is NOW? I feel like a stooge asking but the only thing I can think of is Democracy Now?

7. A PBS show with Bill Moyers and Brian Brancoccio (Sp)

11. Thanks for letting me know

I've never watched that show before. I just checked and it comes on at 10 EST for me so I missed it. I'll make a mental note though to watch this.

Thanks again for the help.

8. Anyone in a vehicle or carrying a gun.

Will be shot. (Don't know if it only applies to specific areas.)

Per Newsworld International (Canada).

[bluedog]

9. it was on international news

no autos...no one with guns.coming into the square.(you know) the one saddams statue was pulled down.anyone entering with a gun willbe shot on sight....you heard right.

I can't believe we are doing this to people in their own country.also in Fullahu(sp) they buried people in a foot ball field.how freaking sick.

17. Where's the NRA Outrage?

How dare the US attempt to limit the rights of the Iraqis to keep and bear arms...

On a sidenote, isn't the situation in Iraq exactly the scenario that the NRA tells us is the reason we need to keep assualt weapons in the hands of the general public...?

[troublemaker]

12. I suspect it's even worse than that

Curfew breakers are probably being shot from 5,000 feet
