Perhaps, an observer speculated, he was beaten with a red-hot whip; perhaps he had been pressed into a red-hot metal chair. In some of the other photos, the victims are missing one forearm. We have to realize the limits that we can expect from the people over there. Especially the police. They all operate with the knowledge that someday we will leave. And when we do, they don't want to be strung up on lamp posts. In the meantime, if they don't pass along what we tell them, someone shows up in the middle of the night and kills their family. The picture of the Iraqi SF guys working with the Marines showed that they all wear hoods when going on a mission. That is why. We need a lot more troops committed when we do take down Fallujah. If we don't have the area encircled, they will all just escape and fight us another day. That is what happened in Sadr City.
