Of course .. the worst part we're guilty of :

Iraqi forces continue to find hostage in houses in the city, the commander of Iraqi forces in Falluja, Maj. Gen. Abdul Qadar Mohan, told CNN on Friday.

In many cases, the hostage-takers fled, leaving the hostages behind, he said. Most hostages feared that if they were to leave the house, they would be shot by U.S. and Iraqi forces amid the battle.

"Some had written on a white flag 'help' in Arabic and English and stuck it in front of the homes," Qadar Mohan said. "You cannot even imagine the tales of terror that they recount."

He said that they told him their captors were Arabs from other countries, including Morocco, Sudan, Syria and other Gulf nations.

One house contained eight hostages, he said, though he was unable to put a number to the total number of captives rescued in the city.
