Without the labels and WikiLeaks cuts, could you have looked at these pictures and determined what the guys on the ground were holding? Honest to god, I could not. Rules of engagement are good. They should be followed. Unfortunately, the go

Brooks uses a sensational title and focuses in on a narrow enough slice of this issue to hit his mark. However, the man who insults "little Johnny" American uses the same dumbed down tactics in his own article. I hope that there is room bet
