#2 ... wow! Ambushes against the bad guys for once! This'd never fly in an American court where the courts believe in innocent until proven guilty unless you're military (see Abu Ghraib), but good to go Iraqi Police! :O

#3 Sounds like revenge for the 12 Iraqi National Guardsmen stopped at a fake Latifiyah checkpoint and executed yesterday.

#5 Sounds like the Iraqi cops are getting sick of being butchered by these pricks and have gone proactive.

#8 Note:
This kind of action is a violation of the Geneva conventions.

Caveat:
The Geneva Conventions have been thrown out the window by the insurgency since the uprising.

Glad to see SOMEONE over there has the sense to know how to wage war effectively and not sensitively.

#9 Geneva convention does not apply to purely internal affairs. Like police work. ;-)
