Report: Al-Qaida bakes little boys
Iraqi official provides account of atrocity to embedded writer
A reporter embedded with the U.S. military in Iraq reports a government official has recounted a new atrocity by al-Qaida: several instances in which terrorists baked a young boy, then invited his family to lunch with the victim as the main course.
The report is from Michael Yon, a Special Forces soldier who returned to Iraq to report on the successes there, inspired, he told radio talk-show host Hugh Hewitt, by a "news cycle that seems to pander toward the terrorists."
Yon was in Baqubah listening to the statements of an Iraqi official who asked that his name not be reported. Yon said the Iraqi told him al-Qaida arrived in Baqubah and united a number of criminal gangs, leaving death and destruction behind. Read more at WND.

As hard as that is to believe, I have no doubt it would have been on the front page of many US newspapers had it attributed to US forces or allies.

Howdy anotmo.
Oh, for sure. In addition, Murtha and others like him would have been howling, the talking heads on television would have been providing the forum, and fanning the flames.
