Separately, police and witnesses said U.S. soldiers shot and killed 11 civilians and wounded five on Sunday night in the Baghdad suburb of Husseiniya. The U.S. military said it had no record of any American military operation in the area.

"We were sitting inside our house when the Americans showed up and started firing at homes. They killed many people and burned some houses," said one of the witnesses, a man with bandages on his head who was being treated at Imam Ali Hospital in the Shiite slum of Sadr City. The police and witnesses spoke with Associated Press Television News on condition of anonymity to protect their own security.

1. shortly after the UN left because of rising violence, MSM followed suit.

or was that afghanistan?

I do recall the Doctors sans borders refuse to go there because of safety concerns. and with the DOD's embed program, they pretty much clog up any chance of real reporting.

The beauty of that fiasco is that although this type of news control bought them the 2004 election, (had America known just how bad it was even then, Shrub would have joined daddy on the golf course) today, this news is getting out despite their best efforts to spin it. This means the Americans are finally getting a clue about the failures of House Bush and Darth Cheney, and they realize just how bad things are and how badly we've been misled. That makes people angry. Might even force them to change the channel. Or even get up off the couch.

3. Americans ??....NO... Never !!!

American soldiers would never do such a thing... And if we do, it was just a bad few...

The truth about the deeds of this country will never, ever fully be known to its own... BUT THE REST OF THE WORLD KNOWS....
