BAGHDAD, Iraq -- Four suspected militants have been detained as hundreds of U.S. soldiers, backed by tanks and helicopters, raided Baghdad's biggest dairy processing plant.

Some 500 soldiers with the Second Battalion, 12th Cavalry Regiment of the First Cavalry Division, raided the plant in the western suburbs of the capital, Baghdad, Sunday morning.

A military spokesman said soldiers were searching for specific suspects sought by the U.S.-led coalition. The four detainees were not identified.

Troops entered the grounds of the eight-building plant without incident and checked identity papers of the workers, separating men and women.

After the raid, soldiers handed out Arabic-language newspapers printed by the coalition and handbills offering rewards for information about suspected militants or bombmakers.

10. I oppose the death penalty for ordinary crimes

However I feel it is justified in certain rare circumstances. Those include treason, terrorism and repeating that pun of yours.

11. Heroes

proud to be defending the "freedoms" of the United States.

Five hundred screaming, fully armed, defenders of "freedom" attacking a facility to capture--what? I mean what did they capture or accomplish here" Makes for a good video game though, I bet and probalby would be very popular with the pre teen groups in the US.

Sorry, there are no heroes here. I would love to place badges upon every one of the five hundredd who invaded this facility, but sorry, no heroes here. I do not admire this. It is Bush's fault, not the pawns, but I still cannot give them medals.

I am beginning to be very negative about our troops placed there and their roles in Iraq under the coward, George Bush.
