DOING WHAT NEEDS TO BE DONE

But please notice that this is the same event "alerted on" yesterday by the Reuters web site "Alerting Humanitarians to Emergencies"

I guess the folks at Reuters "forgot" to mention that the Iraqis turned these guys in, one guy blew himself up and there was a weapons cache in the house.

Humanitarian Emergency my ass.
For six months, the Arab foreigners lived quietly in a Baghdad neighborhood with their wives and children, until neighbors tipped off U.S. forces they could be insurgents.

On Monday morning, American soldiers came to the door of a brown-brick house and — speaking in Arabic over a loudspeaker — ordered those inside to surrender.

When the raid was over, three men were dead, a Syrian and two Yemenis. Two of the men were shot trying to escape; the other blew himself up in the front yard. Inside the house, U.S. troops found a weapons cache.
