So, there's so much in this one that I'm just going to point you to it and tell you to read it. No way I could excerpt enough to do it justice.

 

NYT Reports on task force 6-26, who's goal supposedly is to find Zarqawi, and who seemingly have been using any means available, on anyone they could get their hands on.

 

Rock on guys!!!

 

Rock on guys!!!

Despite the task force's access to a wide range of intelligence, its raids were often dry holes, yielding little if any intelligence and alienating ordinary Iraqis, Defense Department personnel said. Prisoners deemed no threat to American troops were often driven deep into the Iraqi desert at night and released, sometimes given $100 or more in American money for their trouble.

Great job, not only torturing the innocent so they have a reason to shoot americans, but also giving them $$ to go buy a gun to do the job.
