Iraqi fisherman nets shark 160 miles from sea | Oddly Enough | Reuters.com
The story was pretty interesting until I got toward the end. Then it got funny. From the article:
"Tahseen Ali, a teacher, said there was a '75 percent chance' Americans had put the shark in the water."
I'm not sure what the hell they're teaching at West Point, but I have an inclination to believe sharks aren't mentioned, even in psychological warfare. I find it interesting that in even such an odd occurrence, the Iraqis believe it's our fault. They blame everything bad on Americans.
If you were religious (not saying you aren't, but play along please), and in the same position (foreigners having invaded your country and blown up half of it, let's just say) wouldn't you be quite angry? It's a stretch to blame a shark's presence in the Euphrates on the United States, but I can begin to see where they're coming from.
