BAGHDAD (Reuters) - An Iraqi militant group has produced an elaborate video of what it said were attacks on U.S. troops, in the latest example of the increasingly sophisticated propaganda war being waged by Iraqi insurgents.

"The Code of Silence" was posted on the Internet by the Rashedeen Army, thought to be a relatively small Sunni group which has produced videos in the past of attacks it claims to have carried out.

At almost an hour in length, it is the longest and most professionally made of recent postings by mainly Sunni militant and insurgent groups fighting the U.S.-backed government.

The U.S. military said earlier this week that recent intelligence indicated al Qaeda in Iraq was refining its strategy by producing propaganda and adding a political base to its violent campaign of suicide bombings.

Lifting scenes from Michael Moore's anti-war film "Fahrenheit 9/11", Rashedeen's narrator taunts President Bush in softly spoken English over graphic images of Humvees being blown up by roadside bombs, and purportedly dead U.S. troops.

It was not possible to verify when the documentary was made or the authenticity of any of the images portrayed by Rashedeen, whose name means Army of the Rightly Guided.

At one point, the documentary cuts to a scene from Moore's 2004 award-winning film where he lobbies on the steps of the U.S. Congress in Washington.

"After all, there are honest and influential guys in America and if Mr Moore can talk to you like that, so can I," the Rashedeen narrator says.


Wow they need Moore's film for propaganda now. Tsk Tsk, I thought the insurgents own videos be enough. I guess they decided to do something drastic by using an American movie. Never got use to the music from the insurgent videos.

Gosh, I hope they paid Mr. Moore for using his video's.

If there's anything a war profiteer hates to miss out on, getting his money is right up there at the top.

of course moore will probably demand royalaties
or probably have a beer with this scumbag.

I do believe this was the point on conservatives of toning down the ant-american propaganda from the get go. of course foolishly those people only amped it up 10 fold and now have the blood of their own countrymen on their hands.

Hope your proud scumbags


Whats your encore? a secret paris meeting with them as an unauthorized representative of your government?


I hope you see what you all have become.....and in my eyes your less thean scum and should all be deported.
