U.S. Troops Kill 5 Girls in Assault on InsurgentsBAGHDAD, Nov. 28 — American troops killed five girls, including at least one baby, and what the military described as either a boy or a man, when the troops attacked a house Tuesday in volatile Anbar Province after they suspected insurgents of firing at them from the roof.
Another person, which the military described in a written statement as either a girl or a young woman, was wounded in the attack and refused treatment by the Americans.

Funny, the article I read described them as "suspected insurgents."
well that's how you get a way with killing civilians. they're always suspected insurgents.
Just like anyone's phone conversation you want to listen in on is suddenly a "suspected terrorist" or someone you want to "go away" is suddenly an "enemy combatant".
Or someone you want to "torture" doesn't have any "civil rights" because you've "locked him up" without any "legal representation".
I like this game!
