"U.S. and Iraqi officials are in contact with representatives of some Sunni Arab insurgent groups to build an alliance against al-Qaida in Iraq, the outgoing U.S. ambassador said Monday." When US or Iraqi puppet officials claim that they have met with "insurgents" (as `Allawi routinely used to claim) it only means that they have met with Sunni tribal leaders. The claim, for some reason, always impresses US media. (thanks Karim)
