KNOW THE ENEMY

Glenn Reynolds at Instapundit recommends that everyone read this story, and I heartily concur. Here is a snippet, but please follow the link and read the whole thing.

Mutilated bodies dumped on Fallujah's bombed out streets today painted a harrowing picture of eight months of rebel rule...A... poster in the ruins of the souk bears testament to the strict brand of Sunni Islam imposed by the council, fronted by hardline cleric Abdullah Junabi. The decree warns all women that they must cover up from head to toe outdoors, or face execution by the armed militants who controlled the streets. Two female bodies found yesterday suggest such threats were far from idle. An Arab woman, in a violet nightdress, lay in a post-mortem embrace with a male corpse in the middle of the street. Both bodies had died from bullets to the head. Just six metres away on the same street lay the decomposing corpse of a blonde-haired white woman, too disfigured for swift identification but presumed to be the body of one of the many foreign hostages kidnapped by the rebels.

While it is true that our troops use weapons that can cause terrible damage to innocent men, women and children, please remember that our enemy DELIBERATELY targets the innocent for this kind of brutal treatment.
