AMAZING TALES OF THE PARANORMAL

On July 13 after a terrorist attack, the U.S. military issued the following news release: “'The terrorists are attacking the infrastructure, the children and all of Iraq,' said one Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. 'They are enemies of humanity without religion or any sort of ethics. They have attacked my community today, and I will now take the fight to the terrorists.'” Eleven days later, following a different terrorist attack at a different location, the U.S. military issued another press release quoting a different Iraqi man who preferred not to be identified. Amazingly, their quotes were identical!
