And so it begins, part II

The assault against Falluja began here Sunday night as American Special Forces and Iraqi troops burst into Falluja General Hospital and seized it within an hour.

At 10 p.m., Iraqi troops clambered off seven-ton trucks, sprinting with American Special Forces soldiers around the side of the main building of the hospital, considered a refuge for insurgents and a center of propaganda against allied forces, entering the complex to bewildered looks from patients and employees.

We're attacking hospitals now. As Jeanne notes:

...The hospital is "considered a refuge for insurgents and a center of propaganda against allied forces."

Propaganda. Reports of civilian casualties caused a pullout in April. Clearly the military's first priority was to stop those reports. Not the casualties. The reports.
