Iraq War: A Grim and Sad Report

I wonder what David "get-ready-for-atrocities" Brooks thinks about reports like this one, from Juan Cole's outstanding blog (11/29/03, my emphasis):

<< Guerrillas in Mosul killed a soldier with mortar fire that hit the 101st Airborne Division HQ on Friday. On Thursday, a US soldier had been shot to death inside a military base in Ramadi. US soldiers in Baquba shot dead two girls, Fatima and Azra, 15 and 12, on Thursday. They were collecting wood from a field in the middle of the day. US troops initially claimed that one of the girls had been armed, but this allegation does not appear to be borne out by the evidence. >>
