BK> SH>> He also told me of
BK> SH>> detaining Iranians who are in for the fight.

BK> JH> Good.  Haven't seen much in the news about such captures -
BK> JH> - maybe our side is  keeping such on the QT in hopes of
BK> JH> diplomatic progress. Crummy Iranians have 4 or 5 Americans
BK> JH> (academics, peace activist even) with dual citizenship in
BK> JH> custody, with trumped-up charges of spying. I see in news
BK> JH> today that one of the Undersecretaries from State

BK> JH> is speaking out about
BK> JH> agencies of Iranian govt helping the Taliban.  Of course,
BK> JH> the Govt. of Iran denies this, as will the usual anti-US
BK> JH> Fido-suspects.


BK> I have said it before and I say it again. If Bush has such
BK> evidence, why hasn't he done something about it? Why hasn't he
BK> retaliated already?

BK> SH>> One of the guys they
BK> SH>> killed was a First Sergeant in the regular Iraqi Army during
BK> SH>> the day and in insurgent at night. Well, he used to be.

BK> JH> Good.  In many over there, there is absolutely no sense of
BK> JH> honor at all. Blowing up funerals, mosques, medical
BK> JH> facilities, innocent civilians standing at bus stops,
BK> JH> crowded marketplaces, etc.

BK> Confusing terrorists with insurgents is not how the war will be
BK> won. Insurgents who attack our forces are the enemy of our
BK> forces. Terrorists who blow up civilians are murderous criminals
BK> who could be turned over to the Iraqis for hands on punishment.
BK> Do you think for one minute the families of the Iraqi victims
BK> would not kill the terrorists with their bare hands?

BK> JH> Recent reports of IED being
BK> JH> placed by terrorists, in full view of Iraqi security types
BK> JH> at nearby checkpoints, etc.

BK> Terrorists, or insurgents? There is a difference. I would bet
BK> even most American soldiers hate the ones who murder children
BK> more than the ones who attack our forces.

When they are standing there with a bomb in their hands, you are free to 
call then whatever you want.  I just want them dead, not in a courtroom 
full of lawyers.
