Strange US Death Squads in Iraq

In this article, a chilling description is given of an American death squad, arriving via US military helicopter, then raiding the home of a man, Sinan Abdul-Ilah al-Mashadani, before murdering him, and injuring his 13-year old son, and various neighbors with their attack dogs. While this type of behavior by US soldiers has been reported many times, what stands out as peculiar is the description by witnesses of the soldiers’ appearances, as reported by a neighbor, Said Walid Ahmed:

“‘This force is not totally unknown to us here in Fallujah,’ Ahmed, who witnessed the incident from a nearby house told Inter Press Service (IPS). ‘They are a special force of Americans that assassinates more people than it arrests.’
“Ahmed described the force from the helicopters as ‘big men with long hair and beards, some wearing earrings, and others with little black caps on the top of their heads at the back.’”

When was the last time you saw male soldiers in the US military, with long hair, beards, and earrings?

Hmmm... 'men with long hair and beards.' Does anyone know where ZZ Top is right now? ;-). Any theorys as to who these people really are? Have you heard of soldiers being described this way previously?

I have no idea, but would love to know more...it sort of conjures up the imagery of Assyrian kings, but on the other hand, I couldn't help being reminded of Disney's newest release, "Pirates of the Caribbean-Dead Man's Chest" :)

Anyone out there in the military that can shed some light on this?

It is a spec ops force. CIA. They don't let normal military do dirty work, the soldiers aren't cleared.
