In Fallujah, fighting has decreased but continues. Earlier today the Associated Press reported a U.S. Apache helicopter crashed outside Fallujah. Witnesses said it was hit by a rocket from the ground. There was no immediate word on casualties. U.S. officials Monday claimed they had fought a clean war in Fallujah despite reports that the majority of the 600 Iraqis killed were women, children and the elderly. At a press conference Monday an Iraqi reporter asked the US military about the images of children being killed in Fallujah that were broadcast on Al Jazeera, General Kimmitt didn’t deny the charge but said “Change the channel to a legitimate, authoritative, honest news station.”
