You obviously have not a clue that journalists are professional people who are bound by a code of ethics and must report what they observe. So now in this little blurb that you have rejected we have two journalists from respected publications (no moonies) stating what they observed in Iraq. Now you can continue to deny that this happened because your mind is closed and you cannot deal with reality very well, but calling it just someone's opinion makes your argument so weak it becomes laughable, really.

Eliminating doctors

The first major operation by US marines and Iraqi soldiers was to storm Falluja general hospital, arresting doctors and placing the facility under military control. The New York Times reported that "the hospital was selected as an early target because the American military believed that it was the source of rumours about heavy casual ties", noting that "this time around, the American military intends to fight its own information war, countering or squelching what has been one of the insurgents' most potent weapons". The Los Angeles Times quoted a doctor as saying that the soldiers "stole the mobile phones" at the hospital - preventing doctors from communicating with the outside world.
