| Police find 19 dead in west Iraq |
| 2005-03-09 |
| EFL: The bodies of 19 people who were shot dead have been found near the western Iraqi town of Qaim, police say. The dead, discovered on Tuesday night, were all wearing civilian clothes, hospital officials said. They had been shot at close range in head or chest, and may have been dead for as long as a week, reports said. One corpse was reported to have been carrying a police identity card. The incident came just a day after police reported the discovery of 15 decapitated bodies on a disused army base south of Baghdad, some of them women and children. Officials said the culprits had been arrested and that they were criminals rather than insurgents. |

| #3 Sure - criminals have a reason for existence: to steal, and thereby help drive the economy. Insurgents are simply for killing, having no real useful purpose to society at large. |
