U.S. Training Al-Qaida Again?

[texastoast]

I heard an interview on NPR yesterday of a "former" insurgent who joined the ranks of the police trainees in Iraq. He said he recognized many other insurgents. He said no background checks were being done and commented on the very good, specialized training he received.

So, how do we know that a lot of tersts are not being given this very special training as well?

1. You know what?

The tinfoil hat is on as tight as it can be, I am losing it (my sanity, that is)

I think certain people (not Muslims BTW, but Conservatives) want Al Qaeda to be as strong as it can be.

2. You are probably right

My "Where's Osama?" bumpersticker sure does seem to piss off a lot of them (yep, my car got keyed). And, silly me, I thought it was because I was pointing to yet another Bush miserable failure. I see now.

3. They Are, Ma'am

In situations such as the one current in Iraq, rebels are routinely assigned to join the security services, to ptovide intelligence and weaponr to the insurgency....

6. What should I say

How about "The 'Bad' Guys"? But then, just who are the "good" guys? What a quandary!
