I can't fault the Iraqis for not cooperating with the occupation.

you can't find fault? then I think there is something very fundamentally wrong with you

not cooperating to the barbaric brutality of that act is a leap few people other than radical inhuman beasts would agree with you on

how would I re-act to an occupation? let me tell you how I wouldn't act - I wouldn't bomb their non-military construction workers - I wouldn't then pull their charred bodies out of the car only to drag them in the streets - I wouldn't be dancing and singing and smiling for cameras - I wouldn't be poking and leering at those bodies - I wouldn't then hang those tragically mutilated bodies up high on a bridge for all the world to see

the majority of the human race has respect for the dead and for their families - to not, is subhuman to me - to mutilated dead bodies is subman to me, barbaric

and personally, to me, it is a gut wrenching jolt that anyone is capable of doing just that - that anyone one in any way could defend that - that anyone could then turn around and use that despicable act for a political agenda

Sadr aide says Iraqis capture coalition soldiers

(Adds more details, background)

BEIRUT, April 7 (Reuters) - A top aide to the militant Iraqi cleric Moqtada al-Sadr said on Wednesday that his supporters had captured a number of soldiers from the U.S.-led coalition during clashes currently taking place across a large swathe of Iraq.

"Some tribes have captured some occupation forces on the streets," Qays al-Khazali told a news conference in the Shi'ite Muslim holy city of Najaf.

He gave no further details. The news conference was broadcast by Lebanon's al-Manar television station, mouthpiece of the militant Shi'ite Hizbollah group.

There was no immediate comment on the report from the command of U.S.-led forces in Baghdad.

Khazali denounced a U.S. military pledge earlier on Wednesday to destroy Sadr's Mehdi Army militia.

"The Mehdi Army is the Iraqi people and destroying the Iraqi people is a crime," he said.

Sadr's militia has been battling the occupying forces across south and central Iraq since Sunday.
