Carol, I've read and heard what you saw burning was a couple of trucks loaded with ammo and the houses that went up with them. AC-130 gunships are not exactly selective weapons. I do hope civilians have moved out of the part of town where the insurgents are hold up.

GUEST, what I heard was that the military was broadcasting orders for insurgents to surrender their weapons, that time was running out on the ceasefire deadline. "Taunts and laughter about how they were coming to kill them all" don't fit into any psy-ops profile I've ever heard of, quite the opposite. You've been watching too many criminally insane villians in movies.
