Don't Believe Everything You Hear

pete tx:

What's the reason for the two beheadings?


Pete,

I don't believe those reports.

But listen carefully to what I'm not saying:

I'm not saying that it's not possible. I'm not saying that those determined to break up the country so they could go their own way wouldn't do such a thing. I'm not saying that to do that they need to shatter the alliance between the current PM and al-Sadr who are determined to resist that breakup and that neutralising al-Sadr by committting atrocities in neighbourhoods controlled by his militia would be part of that.

I'm saying I don't believe that in this particular case that teachers were beheaded in two separate primary schools in the al-Shaab district of east Baghdad.
