#1 The New York Times have their own take on the story:
Americans Call In Airstrike in Clash With Shiite Militia

#2 trailing wife, thx for the link (though I needed a shower after reading an NY Times article). Thie "splendid" piece of agenda "journalism" appears in the middle:

An American military statement said the airstrikes killed about a dozen insurgents. The statement disputed the allegation that civilians had been killed, saying, “No Iraqi civilians were present in the area while the strike was performed,” without disclosing how the military confirmed that.

Perfect! The NY Times takes EVERY WORD from alQueda's spokesmorons at face value. Ah, but the evil American military...THEM we don't trust!

Heck, I need another shower just THINKING about the NY Times!

#5 As the team defended itself with well-aimed fire, killing five insurgents, rogue JAM militants fired on a helicopter assisting the team in the operation. U.S. Special Forces called in precision aerial fires that resulted in approximately a dozen insurgents killed. No Iraqi civilians were present in the area while the strike was performed."

Beautiful! The JAM got wiped out by a JDAM. Air power baby, air power!
