thinks it is right and proper for helicopter gunships to beat up on
Iraqi farmers,

[Previous letter from Mr
Soper]

HAVE a listen and look at the video clips available on the link below. Very different story from the excerpt you posted, unless you want to contend that farmers in Iraq plant RPGs
[rocket propelled grenades] . . . at night. I am very disappointed in you.

[Website note: The page
linked quotes ABC News as stating that the
men on the ground were fired upon (north of
Baghdad, Dec 1, 2003) because the helicopter
crew “believed them to be armed” with a RPG
launcher.

Mr Soper’s letter does not really add
much to the controversy.]
