Ok I know I have said this before, but now that the media have become so hungry for bad news, when something really good comes down, they pass it over on purpose because even a small victory would be harmful to the media contrived Iraq that so many have come to see.
Here is a story that should have made headlines across the nation. "Killer of 31 Americans captured!" Now thats the kind of headlines I like to see. Or maybe "Sniper of 31 soldiers caught by Iraqi Police!
But no sadly you will not hear of this anywhere. WHy? Because the media has a carefully formed view they want you to see. Well here is my story as I would have written it, all information from a soldier on the ground in Iraq.
Headline: "Killer of 31 Americans captured by Iraqi Police!"
On Friday (Aug 25th, 2006) Iraqi Police stopped and detained a suspicious vehicle. Upon examination of the vehicle and the suspects inside the Iraqi Police located a hidden compartment under the backseat. Inside was a sniper rifle and ammunition.
The suspects were identified as Abdul Ali Abdul Rathman (aka Adu Hajer) and Yunis Fati Thanoon. After questioning at the scene, Thanoon admitted to having killed 31 American soliders using the sniper weapon, although he made the point of saying he did not target Iraqi Police of Iraqi Forces.
The vehicle they were in was modified to allow Thanoon to lie down in the trunk area and shoot through the holes of a taillight that had been removed for that purpose. Making the vehicle a moving and mobile shooting platform and hard to detect.
After questioning by Iraqi authorities both men will appear before an Iraqi Judge and will be turned over to Coalition Forces for further questioning.
This was an important find for Iraqi Police and the Coalition Forces as these men may have been directly responsible for more American Deaths than any other one person. The claims of having killed 31 American Soliders is being investigated.
As more information becomes available it will be posted.
Now thats how I would have published this story in the main stream media. But of course I am not MSM, just more truthful and better!.
