The gangs of Fallujah

Andrew Sullivan posts a letter from a military chaplain in Fallujah. The chaplain claims that there are more people in the northeast Minneapolis gangs than there are causing havoc in Fallujah. He adds that “countless Iraqis tell our psyopers they want to cooperate with us but are afraid the thugs will slit their throats or kill their kids. A bad gang can do that to a neighborhood and a town. That’s what is happening here.”
