2. Did the BFEE tell NBC this would be a turning point?
This propaganda maneuver? What was the point? What did this cover up?

7. Uh oh. Their little show didn't work.

13. It was a politically-timed attempt to CREATE turning point
Subsequent reports have admitted that there was little airborne fire, and that half of the 40 "insurgents" captured have already been released. Why were fifteen hundred soliders necessary to caputure eighty?
