Street Justice.
The Mehdi army is not responding to the raids with fire, but they are trying to
undermine the security plan by spreading rumors about alleged crimes committed by US
soldiers, specifically against the Shia. The latest of these rumors was a ridiculous
one I heard yesterday from a taxi driver from Sadr city. His story, quite similar to
one told by a Sadr city council member, is that US soldiers are raiding Shia homes,
arresting innocent civilians, and then dumping them at night near strongholds of Sunni
insurgents, blindfolded and handcuffed so that the insurgents would find them
defenseless and slaughter them!
マハディ軍の武装派は潜伏していてアメリカ軍などと交戦していない。その代わりアメリカ軍
が民間人に暴虐を働いているなどのデマを流す作戦に出ている・・・
This is an indication that Imposing Law does not mean only sending soldiers to kill
terrorists. It is reaching out to deal with other aspects of mess and to counter
relatively “benign” violations-like breaking the “odd and even” traffic rule,
defensive irregular roadblocks and unlicensed kiosks and stalls-by providing protection
for the personnel of civilian departments while they do their job.
この作戦はテロリストの殺戮などのみならず、市内に法と秩序を回復することが狙いである。
