3. If those are Iraqi police ,then

1. Why are their heads covered?

2. How could so many of them be white?

My guess? Replace "Iraqi police" with "private mercenary forces".

5. Oh yeah, this is sure to win them over to Allawi !

I personally have always thought it might be nice to be blind folded and taken away in handcuffs by a bunch of occupiers with assault who yell obscenities that I don't understand and take me to a prison with people like Lyndee in it.
