Fallujah ?Reconstructed? as One Big Jail
Submitted by Robert Kaercher on Mon, 2008-03-24 17:00
"?Fallujah today is sealed off with blast walls and checkpoints. Residents are given permits to enter the city. All visitors and their weapons are registered, and police check every car. The U.S. military has divided the city into nine gated communities, each with its own joint security station staffed by U.S. troops and Iraqi police. It also has been buying the loyalties of former Sunni insurgents, paying them $180 a month to join a neighborhood force that works with the police.? I wonder if this is the kind of 'success? many pro-war ?libertarians? have in mind when they talk about their support for the Iraq War."
