First Reuters gives us this:

Gunmen wearing the uniform of Iraqi police commandos seized dozens of employees from the offices of a security company in eastern Baghdad on Wednesday, police sources said.

Two sources said about 50 people were taken. They said that the gunmen, who arrived in at least 10 vehicles, broke into the headquarters compound of the firm in the Zayouna district.

Then earlier they gave us this update of incidents in the country:

*BAGHDAD – Two policemen were killed and another wounded when a roadside bomb went off near the convoy of the Minister of Interior in eastern Baghdad, a source in the ministry said.

*BAQUBA – Iraqi Army and police arrested 19 suspects in raid and search operations in Baquba, 65 km (40 miles) north of Baghdad, police said.

BAGHDAD – The bodies of 18 men, bound, blindfolded and strangled, were found on Tuesday night in a minibus in western Baghdad, an Interior Ministry spokesman said.

FALLUJA – Four civilians were killed and two wounded when a roadside bomb exploded in a main road in Falluja, police said.

BAGHDAD – Two policemen were killed and six civilians and two policemen wounded when a roadside bomb went off near a police patrol in central Baghdad, police said.

BAGHDAD – The bodies of two people were found, bound and blindfolded, after they were shot dead in eastern Baghdad, police said.

So is Rumsfeld going to go after Reuters now for “exaggerating” these stories. Honestly there is no exaggeration in them. Either they are true or they are lies. So which is it Mr. Secretary?
