Is this a sign of what's to come?

BAGHDAD, Iraq - U.S. and Iraqi soldiers, backed by American warplanes, killed 50 suspected insurgents in an hours-long battle Tuesday in central Baghdad, the Iraqi defense ministry said.
U.S. jet fighters and helicopters flashed through the skies over the Haifa Street area just north of the heavily fortified Green Zone, where the battle raged through the morning and much of the afternoon. Witnesses said they had seen the aircraft firing into the combat zone, and explosions rang out over the city.

Maj. Gen. Ibrahim Shaker, a defense ministry spokesman, said 21 militants were captured, including seven foreign Arabs — three Syrians, a Sudanese and three others.

when you've exchanged gunfire with them for hours, I think the lawyers migh be ok with leaving out the "suspected".

This is nothing new, people have been turning in their neighbors to Saddams hinchman for years saying that they were talking of overthrowing Saddam.

Now, they just call them insurgents.
