"Iraqi Police" Kidnap 4 American Mercenaries at a "Checkpoint"!

http://www.crescentsecuritygroup.com/




<snip>

A U.S. Embassy official, who refused to be identified because he was not authorized to release the information, said the convoy included 43 heavy trucks and six security vehicles. Some of the hijackers were dressed as Iraqi police and those men took away 20 vehicles, he said.

The officer said the Crescent Security Group convoy had been stopped at a checkpoint on Thursday by Iraqi men, some of them wearing police uniforms.

The Crescent Security Group company works mostly in Iraq, and its operations are based in Kuwait. Many of its managers and employees are American.

In Washington, Pentagon spokesman Bryan Whitman said Thursday that preliminary reports suggested the attacked convoy included about 19 vehicles.

7. Damn, those pictures are scary.
We have given thugs like these carte blanche. They can kill with impunity and NOTHING can be done about it. No wonder there are 650K Iraqi's dead. Doesnt that make you proud that "FREEDOMS ON THE MARCH".:puke:
edit: I wonder how many Iraqi girls have been raped by animals like these?

8. People say that in this war you can't tell the "good guys" from the
"bad guys". After seeing those pics, I know exactly what the "bad guys" look like. Repugnant...
