4/4 http://csua.org/u/c61 (http://www.cnn.com US troops introduce profiling to Iraq. Where will it stop?? \- Profiling is fine, racial profiling is not. -Smart Liberal oboxymoron \_ Oh yeah? You think they're looking at anyone who isn't of Middle Eastern origin like that? \_ moron , everyone in iraq is middle eastern, so they are not profiling race, but characteristics of paramilitary \_ Ah, the ignorant speak. So you don't know about all the people from African and South Asia that work in Iraq and thus live there and etc? You think the only people who might want to shoot an American soldier are Middle Eastern? This is clasic racial profiling. You should be ashamed of yourself for supporting this gross violation of human rights and heaping shame and humiliation on the Iraqi people in their own country! \_ Looking for tattoos indicating Fedayeen Saddam membership is gross violation of human rights? \_ Are they checking tatoos on the non-Arabs? If not, then yes, it is racial profiling. \_ you are the one that is racists, human beings can't be profiled as terrorists or paramilitary because of their race means that you are the racists , sack of shit \_ If this parsed into some form of English, I'd respond. \_ Yes -- normally I'm pretty decent at deciphering other people's egyptian, but I'm struggling with this one. -mice \_ That's why I chose to let this one go. Maybe the poster would like to come back and try again in modern English. \_ I think it's something like "you are the ones who are the ball-lickers." |

csua.org/u/c61 -> www.cnn.com/2003/WORLD/meast/04/04/sprj.irq.marines.fedayeen/index.html Michael Castaneda tries to communicate with two Iraqi men stopped at a checkpoint Friday south of Baghdad in central Iraq. Story Tools 26 more video VIDEO CNN's Walter Rodgers reports during a firefight near Saddam International Airport. Jim Tomlin has gotten to know the subtle signs that might indicate if an Iraqi man dressed as a civilian might be a soldier or Fedayeen Saddam member. A bus full of men in civilian clothes had been pulled over at a checkpoint. While one man was being questioned, he drew a finger across his throat, Tomlin and others on the bus said. Tomlin, from Minneapolis, Minnesota, learned Arabic in a year and a half of training at the Defense Language Institute in Monterey, California. He was helping Charlie Company, a light armored reconnaissance unit with the 2nd Marine Division, interview Iraqis suspected of being possible paramilitary fighters about 60 miles south of Baghdad. At that point, a gunnery sergeant grabbed the man, threw him to the floor and bound his hands behind his back with plastic handcuffs. Tattoos are becoming indicators of military ties for paramilitary groups like the Fedayeen or Iraqi troops who don civilian clothes to blend in. Tomlin said the Iraqi who threatened him had a scorpion tattooed on his hand. He also looks for military haircuts, identification cards, and the condition of a suspect's feet and his shoes. The unit is patrolling the main highways into Baghdad to keep them open for supplies to reach troops moving toward the Iraqi capital. The reconnaissance unit has been sending patrols into small towns and villages south of Baghdad, and some Marines have reported ambushes by people using small arms and rocket-propelled grenades in recent days. Six men in civilian robes were questioned and detained earlier this week. Each had military haircuts or nice sandals, Tomlin said. Story Tools 49 Click Here to try 4 Free Trial Issues of Time! |
