“Goemaere called on Iraqis to help in preventing future attacks. ‘The complete disregard for civilian life in this attack is absolutely abhorrent,’ he said. ‘It is the responsibility of all Iraqi people to turn against the terrorists and protect their families from this type of crime."
An Iraqi man who asked not to be identified echoed Goemaere's remarks. ‘The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the ISF and all of Iraq,’ he said. ‘They are enemies of humanity, without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today, and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.’"

"The Defense Department is considering issuing a secret directive to the American military to conduct covert operations aimed at influencing public opinion and policy makers in friendly and neutral countries, senior Pentagon and administration officials say.
Defense Secretary Donald H. Rumsfeld has not yet decided on the proposal, which has ignited a fierce battle throughout the Bush administration over whether the military should carry out secret propaganda missions in friendly nations like Germany, where many of the Sept. 11 hijackers congregated, or Pakistan, still considered a haven for Al Qaeda's militants.
Such a program, for example, could include efforts to discredit and undermine the influence of mosques and religious schools that have become breeding grounds for Islamic militancy and anti-Americanism across the Middle East, Asia and Europe. It might even include setting up schools with secret American financing to teach a moderate Islamic position laced with sympathetic depictions of how the religion is practiced in America, officials said."
