Winning Stopping hearts and minds

Our troops are doing a bang up job teaching the Iraqi people about basic American values like freedom of speech:

AN Iraqi has died of his wounds after US troops beat him with truncheons because he refused to remove a picture of wanted Shiite Muslim leader Moqtada Sadr from his car, police said today.

The motorist was stopped late yesterday by US troops conducting search operations on a street in the centre of the central city of Kut, Lieutenant Mohamad Abdel Abbas said.

After the man refused to remove Sadr's picture from his car, the soldiers forced him out of the vehicle and started beating him with truncheons, he said.

The troops involved are now hunting down the Iraqi’s family for a photo shoot...
