The official reported that on a couple of occasions in Baqubah, al Qaeda invited to lunch families they wanted to convert to their way of thinking. In each instance, the family had a boy, he said, who was about 11-years-old. As LT David Wallach interpreted the man’s words, I saw Wallach go blank and silent. He stopped interpreting for a moment. I asked Wallach, “What did he say?” Wallach said that at these luncheons, the families were sat down to eat. And then their boy was brought in with his mouth stuffed. The boy had been baked. Al Qaeda served the boy to his family.
This is not a horror story.
This is real.
This is from Michael Yon, a writer embedded in Iraq. He's not military and he's not a reporter for a major news source. He's there through donations from his readers.
The excerpt is from his blog, "Baqubah Update: 05 July 2007."
Read it and the other dispatches from Michael. Then sit there in front of your computer, in that air conditioned room with a straight face, and badmouth or troops and our president for being over there.
