Bodies of 10 Iraqi civilians found shot to death (in "black body bags"?)

http://www.cnn.com/2005/WORLD/meast/04/08/iraq.main/

BAGHDAD, Iraq (CNN) -- The bodies of 10 slain civilians have been found near Baquba in northern Iraq, a hospital official said Friday.

<snip>

The 10 civilians were shot in the head execution-style, Dr. Fu'ad Ahmed of Baquba General Hospital said.

The bodies were found Thursday inside black body bags in Balad Rooz, about 60 kilometers (37 miles) east of Baquba in Diyala province.

<snip>

Iraqi security forces are investigating the shootings, the doctor said.

...more...

Where did the body bags come from? Are we "missing" some of those? Why would the "insurgents" have "black body bags"?

something smells very strange here :think:

2. Were they wearing Orange Jumpsuits?

Or are those Orange Jumpsuits only reserved for American's about to be beheaded?

4. That is curious (the body bags)

I think someone was sending a message by using body bags. Either the resistance was saying "we can infiltrate at will", or the U.S. spooks were saying "courtesy of the U.S. government". A lot would depend on the identity of the civilians. But, I doubt we will ever know, given the sorry state of journalism, especially as it pertains to Iraq.

5. I think you are onto something.

The dead serves two purposes. The first removes them from the battlefield. The second is a reminder of the cost of resistance.
