Fed up with being part of a group that cuts off a person’s face with piano
wire to teach others a lesson, dozens of low-level members of al-Qaeda in
Iraq are daring to become informants for the US military in a hostile
Baghdad neighbourhood.
“They are turning. We are talking to people who we believe have worked for
al-Qaeda in Iraq and want to reconcile and have peace,” said Colonel Ricky
Gibbs, commander of the 4th Brigade, 1st Infantry Division, which oversees
the area.
“It is only after al-Qaeda has become truly barbaric and done things like, to
teach lessons to people, cut their face off with piano wire in front of
their family and then murdered everybody except one child who told the tale
afterwards . . . that people realise how much of a mess they are in,”
Lieutenant James Danly, 31, who works on military intelligence in Doura,
said.

You might argue that it's just a tall tale about the piano wire. But it doesn't matter as long as it's in range of truth. And the inviolable truth includes decapitated heads paraded around on poles. Unfortunately, the Nazis have now been exposed as amateurs...
