heard that the PA and militias associated them

Thugocracy; I wonder who invented it. The observation
is a little off IMHO; on the one hand, there is such a
thing as Islamic law, which may have some be in place.
International law, which has juristiction, but doesnt
quite have means of overriding a US veto. All of this
is rendered moot by "lawlessness," which is really a
symptom rather than a situation.
I wrote about an incident between Coalition troops
and non-uniform-wearing Iraqis several months ago,
which also had conflicting and
changing news reports.
That incident alone took me 3 days of research and
editing, before everyone was satisfied.
Current events are always changing; everyones a
critic, and most people dont understand how basic news
style differs from encyclopediasm; its not just POV
edits and terms but a lack of understanding how news
stories are structured.
