Men in Black: from the Iraq frontlines


Mosul clashes leave 12 dead
This is what CNN wrote on their website about what happened yesterday here in Mosul:

Mosul clashes leave 12 dead

Clashes between police and insurgents in the northern city of Mosul left 12 Iraqis dead and 26 wounded, hospital and police sources said Wednesday.

Rifle and rocket-propelled grenade fire as well as explosions were heard in the streets of the city.

The provincial governor imposed a curfew that began at 3 p.m. local time (7 a.m. EDT), and two hours later, provincial forces, police and Iraqi National Guard took control, according to Hazem Gelawi, head of the governor's press office in the Nineveh province.

Gelawi said the city is stable and expects the curfew to be lifted Thursday.

Now here's what really happened.... (A critical and uninformed Russian site has the US soldier blogger's complete post which was removed under US Army pressure.)

Then what happened: BLOG, AND GET BUSTED.

But more recently Esquire magazine articles, a book and back to blogging.
