In Case You Missed This. This deep in today's Washington Post article about the bomb that killed at least 23 people at the Italian base in Nasiriyah, Iraq: "And at a roadblock in Fallujah, a restive city west of the capital, U.S. troops fired on a truck carrying live chickens Tuesday night, killing five civilians.
"They went to bring chickens . . . and they came back at 9 or 10 at night and we were waiting for them," Khalid Khalifa Jumaily, whose two nephews were killed on the truck, told the news service. "The Americans fired on them."
The U.S. military said it no [sic] immediate information on the shootings."
There's no attempt at linkage, and Fallujah is far from Nasiriyah; the Post is just using the Italian bomb article as a catch-all for other war violence not worth highlighting or reporting in any more detailed fashion. [LewRockwell.com Blog]
The government seems determined to make sure that the Iraqis don't get any ideas about actually being free now.
