"They" being the military propagandists.

US to ‘take out’ militants

<snip>At 10.20 am (0720 GMT), Stover said, two men carrying RPGs and an AK47 were killed in an air strike in Baghdad Jadida, while 40 minutes later a US helicopter strike killed two gunmen.

At 12.10 (0910 GMT), an M1 tank fired a round at a truck carrying members of what he described as a rocket team, destroying the truck and an unknown number of people.

A series of military statements on Monday, meanwhile, reported eight people killed on Sunday afternoon and evening in Sadr City, most of them hit by air strikes while they were said to be readying to fire rockets.

“Where are most of the rocket and mortar attacks coming from? From Sadr City,” Stover said. “We are not the aggressors. The Special Groups targeting civilians are the aggressors.”

1. The "terrorists formerly known as Al Queda"
They had to change their name over a licensing disagreement.

Wouldn't want any dispute over whose territory it is to terrorize.
