They are called 'strategic hamlets.'

2. Doubt
Who would ever doubt the word of a random internet poster with no proof, just assertion? Certainly not I. Like a sponge I just absorb everything I read uncritically.

Proof? We don't need no stinkin' proof. Anybody who asks for evidence of these charnel houses is clearly a Bush Lover, and may as well go over to Free Republic with the other neanderthals.

Ok, maybe that's a little over the top.

4. I'd believe a random poster before
I believed anything that came out of this administration's mouth.

5. Hmmmmmm.
But you see, I'd place both of those sources pretty far down on my list of believable sources.

And you forget the key point--Random Poster with no proof or evidence other than assertion. A random poster who could point me towards somethign I could verify I'd buy.

6. At least poster was honest enough
to state it was a "friend of a friend", lends credibility as far as I'm concerned. And I would not be in the least bit surprised.

7. I would be
I mean I don't know what depths the Bush administration is willing to sink to, but we're talking about thousands of people keeping this a secret. Is that really more plausible than somebody exageratting quite a bit about how bad it is in Iraq?
