Within hours, al-Qa'ida attacked Baquba in battalion strength and slaughtered all the local sheikhs who had thrown in their hand with the Americans Fisk just makes it up as he goes along, doesn't he? 1000 AQI troops took back Baqubah and every other new organization conspired to hide the news? What actually happened, according to the other news organization is that AQI forces raided two villages near Baqubah, and were beaten off by the locals. AQI did manage to kill one sheikh, destroy a mosque, and kidnap a buch of women and children. They lost a bunch of their own fighters as well. No fighting reported in Baqubah at all. Villagers Battle Insurgents After Attack on Sheik Near Baqubah washingtonpost.com Such is Fisk's attitude to facts. It's hardly surprising I suppose, that he's now starting to sidle up to the "troofers". He's reported lots of shit that had no bearing on the facts but boy, did it fit the ideology! Like the non-exitent "Massacre of Jenin". Never apologized for any of it either.
