"Being drawn into the real battle of Baghdad"

Winning hearts and minds.

Watching the video, I find I can't condemn the Americans for not trying to stop the Iraqi military for going "old school" on their prisoners. The American troops have been drawn into a brutal, bloody fight that must surely brutalize themselves and leave them with a dehumanized view of Iraqis. It's only going to get worse.

And if you haven't seen it, be sure to watch Laura Logan's report on The Battle of Haifa Street.

"They told us they would bring democracy...but they've brought nothing but destruction and death."
