"20 civilians killed in the recent airstrike - CNN

[McKenzie]

<snip>

Dr. Shiya Fahdawi of Al-Ramadi hospital told CNN that all 20 dead, including six children, and 25 wounded he has seen at the hospital "were not terrorists -- they were only a bunch of civilians whose curiosity prompted them to gather around a destroyed Humvee."

1. Yep, we're there to help the people of Iraq all right. Right into their

graves.

2. If they are dead or wounded they must be insurgents.

We only use smart bombs. Todays attack was another great victory in our bringing freemon'n'moxy to them pesky arabs and ridding the land of furrin fighters and surgeons so that we don't have to fight them here. Glory to God.

3. "Democracy is messy"--Donald Rumsfeld.

Funny how it's always so much messier for innocent civilians than it is for the ones calling the shots.

4. This should be front page news.

Are you listening, MSM?

5. Recommend this please. All the witty comments on such threads today,

nothwithstanding but not many are trying to get this stuff front and center HERE, goddamnit. PLEASE! Andf how did we start with 39 for sure not insurgents to 25 and now 20? AP had 39 desd from the air strike in the area, Reuters has 25 dead in Ramadi itself it seems anmd now it's put at 20 from CNN. Is there a pattern here with longtime news agencies being more inclusive and the corporate media (CNN) lowballing this? I think so.
