I guess demonstrating for Saddam is equal to being a terrorist.
If we did it in this country at Kent State, I guess it really is no big deal in Iraq.

6. vs. people who pull statistics out of thin air
Al jazeera has an editorial bias but no more or less so than CNN or MSNBC. I suspect Al jazeera would come up well ahead of American media outlets in terms of reporting things they didn't have to retract later like the rather pathetic run-up of weapons finds that our "journalists" had to keep retracting.

7. They responded to RPG attacks and demonstrators may have died
We still don't know who actually died. Even if they were protestors I find it insulting that you would auto-blame americans instead of the idiots who started violence by firing at them.
