Some of the surrendering Iraqis are expecting (and hoping) to be taken to America.

Apparently, some Iraqi civilians are rushing to surrender to American troops under the false impression that they will be taken to the United States.

“We had a group like that a few days ago,” says Medley. “One guy wanted to go to America, bad. He wasn’t a soldier. He wanted a baseball cap. When we put him on a helicopter, he thought he was going to America ? he was smiling the whole time.”

The whole piece is worth a read.
