he points out how bootleg DVDs are rampant in Iraq, from the general population to the US military. "Redacted" had recently been broadcast for free on HDNet, making it available for download to anybody in the world.
"Redacted", of course, is a fictional tale of the rape and murder of an Iraqi girl by US troops.
Dollard points to Aswat Aliraq (an iraqi blog) for the details of the shooting deaths:
Ninewa, Jan 4, (VOI) – The Iraqi soldier who killed two U.S. soldiers in Mosul 10 days ago was a member of an armed group who infiltrated into a joint Iraqi-U.S. force, the commander of the Iraqi army's 2nd Division said.
"The soldier was part of a joint Iraqi-U.S. patrol undertaking security duty in al-Haramat area, western Mosul, on December 26. When the patrol came under firing attack, the soldier opened fire at U.S. soldiers and killed two of them," Brig. Mutaa Habib al-Khazraji told the independent news agency Voices of Iraq (VOI).
"The patrol soldiers managed to arrest him and he is now under the Iraqi side's investigative custody," Khazraji added.
The U.S. side denied that this Iraqi soldier opened fire at U.S. servicemen because they sexually harassed an Iraqi girl, affirming that the scene where the incident took place was void of any civilians.
On December 28, 2007 the U.S. army had announced that two of its soldiers died of wounds sustained when they came under light arms' fire during military operations in Mosul.
as Dollard pointed out in his post, by "The U.S. side denied...", this means that they had been asked. thanks, Mark Cuban. thanks, Brian DePalma. nice job. hope it was worth it.
