Since when are combatants killed in combat "terrorists"?? There is an insurgency
in Iraq. This is not a "terrorist/counter-terrorist" show. The US has military
forces. They are attacked by opposing military forces. This is called "war."
Note the origin of the story -- "Armed Forces Press Service." And Robert, I
also do not believe this man died of DU exposure. But DU remains a problem. BIG
TIME. K
