The "Insurgents" Are Videotaping Attacks on US Convoys !!
Has this made the TV "news" yet?



This is a still taken from a video supplied by an Iraqi insurgent group calling itself 'Omar ibn Alkhatab brigade attached to the Islamic Anger Brigades' in Iraq (news - web sites), which the insurgents claim shows a stationary vehicle exploding as an American convoy passes on the northern outskirts of Baghdad, Iraq Monday Jan. 3, 2005. There was no confirmation of casualties from the U.S. military. The AP is unable to authenticate the image taken from this footage. (AP Photo/Via APTN

4. So both sides
now have embedded journalists. Hopefully we'll see both sides at last.
By the way has Powell taken a helicopter ride over Fallujah and other bombed out parts of Iraq?

7. Has ANYBODY (non-embedded press, humanitarian relief, or otherwise)...
"taken a helicopter ride over Fallujah and other bombed out parts of Iraq?"

No. Truly the most disturbing set of events I've (never) witnessed in my lifetime, including the current "natural" disaster unfolding in SE Asia. (At least THAT was Mother Nature).

It's hard to describe such despicable people.

8. Their point is that this ISN'T on prime time, and this is their attempt to
provide the real footage to the world wide media.

9. The other day on Democracy Now, they showed masked gunmen
strolling casually around Iraqi neighborhoods and amid heavy traffic. They appeared to be in no danger and looked to be in control of the area.
