Fallujah--Following Friday's accidental killing of nine Iraqi policemen by US soldiers, civilian administrators are worried that some potential police academy recruits may not have a death wish.

However, the more immediate question on commanders' minds is "what fool thing those stupid towel heads did to get themselves killed."

6. Amazing. It's labeled as satire. . .

yet people respond as if it's the truth. Goes to show how absurd this maladministration has become, that even the absurd is considered normal.

8. No, he should be in jail or in a

psychiatric facility, the damn psychopath.

9. "not helpful"
