Poll question: Place your bets. Foreign fighters or wedding guests?
We won't know the truth in this story for a while (if at all). So rather than being a poll, I'm making it a wager. The winners will get a free trip to testify before Congress.

2. Military is already covering themselves...
...claiming that they have ID's of insurgents, weapons, etc. They also have 45 dead bodies, 17 of which are children. The situation in Iraq is totally out of control.

3. the media has systematically dehumanised these people
to the point where only the number of dead actually has any impact..so 45 dead iraqis will not even register on the richter scale..
