Oops

You have to hand it to the United States military. When they find an articulate witness who can give reporters a good quote, they try to have him stick around. For example, here's a quote from a press release dated July 13, after a suicide bomber killed several children as well as US soldiers:

"'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. 'They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.'"

Now here's the text of a press release from the 24th of July:

"'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the ISF and all of Iraq. They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today and I will now take the fight to the terrorists,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified."

Notice the odd similarity? Naturally the Pentagon is investigating this, because if Mister Preferrednotto be-Identified can't be found, it raises an interesting point.

Could the military be falsifying its press releases from Iraq to show the American people (you know, the largely sheeplike mob who think Fox News is fair and balanced) that the Iraqis support us being there?
