Either these military newspeakers aren't even concerning themselves with actual Iraqi opinion, or they've tried to find corroborative views with no success. They are creating their own reality, and they will meet their own goals, Iraqis and Americans be damned.<br><br> <p></p><i></i>

<!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/news.html?in_article_id=356988&in_page_id=1770" target="top">Public doubts grow over shoot-to-kill</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--><br><br>Here's a news article, from The Daily Mail out of Britain, using heinous propaganda techniques to justify the killing of innocent people. The headline lures with the headline <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>Public doubts grow over shoot-to-kill</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END-->. Inside the article we find out that the growing public wariness still amounts to 2/3 of respondents approving of accidental death-by-firing-squad by police officers who, not long ago, were famously unallowed to even carry guns. The 2/3 majority represents a shift down from ~84%, before the weekend, that supported such measures. If the polls are accurate, coupled with the polls that 2/3 also link the unjustified conflict in Iraq with the London bombings, cognitive dissonance abounds. These Janes and Joes, who know better than to trust these liars that got them into an illegal war, are going to trust the liars to only kill bona fide suspects who <!--EZCODE ITALIC START--><em>might</em><!--EZCODE ITALIC END--> pose a threat? The cops don't even behave this way in Israel; I'd imagine the stink from IDF 'accidentally' killing a Jewish person in downtown Tel Aviv would be enormous. <p></p><i></i>
