U.S. fights "lawful" enemy combatants in Iraq

how very interesting...

In a rare battle between American and uniformed Iraqi forces, United States troops backed by fighter jets killed six Iraqi policemen and seven gunmen during a predawn raid in which they captured a rogue police lieutenant, the military said Friday.

al qaeda wasn't mentioned a single time in the entire article... however...

They said the captured lieutenant was a “high ranking” leader of a cell they suspected of having links to the Quds Force, part of Iran’s Revolutionary Guards.

if you can't get away with blaming al qaeda, go with the next best thing...
