(NOTE: the translation of Marine Col. Shupp's remarks in this article is
that anyone actually still in Falluja is actually a "terrorist" and can be
killed on sight, having magically transformed the civilians by denying
their existence.)

And, this note from Sam Smith's Progressive Review:

[ACADEMICS FOR JUSTICE, UK - Tonight (11/15) on the radio the Red Crescent
has managed to enter Fallujah by force and they said conditions are
extremely bad. Many children dead and dying from waterborne diseases, as no
clean water so drinking anything. No food and starving people eating leaves
from the trees as they are starving.

The hospital occupied by US troops will not allow it to be used by the
people, so many many dying from awful injuries, spontaneous abortions due
to the bombing, horrific burns, amputees just everything one could imagine.
People burying their families in their gardens.]
