iraq: through the looking glass at a full-out sprint
This is unsettling. The word is confused, and no doubt that word will be purposely confused even further, but the story seems to report that two undercover British soldiers were arrested in Basra after a shootout with police. There are unsubstantiated reports from some Iraqi officials that the soldiers were arrested for planting explosives.
And then… the arrested soldiers were broken out of jail by other British soldiers, using freaking tanks to break into the building. Oh yeah, another 150 other prisoners also escaped in the process.
Subtle.
