Amos,

You say

"Gen. Peter Pace, chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff, said U.S. forces hunting down militant networks that produced roadside bombs had arrested Iranians and that some of the material used in the devices were made in Iran.

"That does not translate that the Iranian government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this," Pace told reporters in the Indonesian capital, Jakarta. "What it does say is that things made in Iran are being used in Iraq to kill coalition soldiers." "


One could say that
"Reporters said U.S. forces in various prisons and detention centers were commiting acts of torture.

"That does not translate that the U. S. government per se, for sure, is directly involved in doing this. What it does say is that soldiers from the U. S are committing acts of torture"



So I will now demand that you clear the U. S. government of all accusations of torture.


Oh, the government is responsible for what the military is doing?

You mean like Iran is responsible for sending military supplies to the insurgents?????????


I do not see the contradiction of U. S. claims- only that the involvement may not be direct. Please show me where the General says that the Iranian government IS NOT involved in the supply of Iranian military ordinance to the insurrectionists.
