COMMENTARY: OK, "More than 280 Iraqis". I'll buy that. But I'd like to know, how many were shooting at the Marines? Throwing grenades? Firing RPGs? And how many were just sitting on their thumbs in places where other people were shooting at the Marines?

Why didn't ABC report on that?

The generic "Iraqis" doesn't tell me much.
