""But from our perspective, anyone who carries weapons is a terrorist. It doesn't matter what faction they are a part of," he added. Hodges tells Matthew to write something really terrible about Abu Tiba, something that the Islamic Army of Iraq might say about him, something that will start a fight. Matthew nods. Then in bright red paint he writes "Abu Tiba is a terrorist and those who work with him are terrorists." It seems somehow less menacing than the crossed out "USA" daubed next to it on the dusty brown wall. Hodges does not read Arabic, so he asks a reporter travelling with the platoon to translate. Hodges is clearly disappointed. The black propaganda effort needs a lot more street cred than Matthew is giving him." (thanks Ann)
