One source does not make it so. And if you read the "supposition":
Crowds in Mosul started throwing rocks in response to a speech by new-governor Mashaan al-Juburi, who some accuse as being a US-'Puppet' like Saddam Hussein originally was. American troops then reportedly fired on the crowd, possibly after receiving small arms fire from nearby.

Sorry, Lindy, but I think our folks there do have a right to defend, not only themselves, but the duly "elected" representative of the community. The few uneducated who believe that disagreements should be settled with stonings are "dead" wrong.

Cheers,
