This story refers to the execution squad as "Iraqi militants." I guess they made an honest mistake too. In my mind, "Iraqi" referred to "people fighting on the side of Iraq." Let me apologize (again) for not being specific enough. I assure you all (again)it was not an intentional distortion - I was speaking in general terms. Apparently no one has any definite evidence as to the actual nationality of the executioners.
As I stated before, I thought the issue deserved equal time. If that qualifies as a rebuttal, so be it.
