Enraged Mob in Falluja Kills 4 American Contractors: "The steadily deteriorating security situation in the Falluja area, west of Baghdad, has become so dangerous that no American soldiers or Iraqi security staff responded to the attack ... There are a number of police stations in Falluja and a base of more than 4,000 marines nearby. But even while the two vehicles burned, sending plumes of inky smoke over the closed shops of the city, there were no ambulances, no fire engines and no security.
Instead, Falluja's streets were thick with men and boys and chaos.
Boys with scarves over their faces hurled bricks into the burning vehicles. A group of men dragged one of the smoldering corpses into the street and ripped it apart. Someone then tied a chunk of flesh to a rock and tossed it over a telephone wire.
'Viva mujahadeen!' shouted Said Khalaf, a taxi driver. 'Long live the resistance!'
Nearby, a boy no older than 10 put his foot on the head of a body and said: 'Where is Bush? Let him come here and see this!'"

Guess we are really showing them who is "master", as the new Marine commander aims to do.
