The Marin Independent Journal, CA, has an article on a Marine who recently returned from Ramadi. 2nd Lt. Phil Downs Jr. (who's unit wasn't given but is likely the 2/5 Marines) describes his experiences over the course of the 7 months, including som heavy conflicts in Sept-Nov 2004. 2nd Lt. Downs received the U.S. Navy and Marine Corps Commendation Medal with a bronze "V" for valor (indicating earned while in combat) for actions on Sept 12, 2004, in which he led efforts to locate a group of Marines that had been cut off during an intense firefight.

The Associated Press has an article indicating that "More Iraqis [are] tipping off security forces." One example is given from Ramadi: "In Ramadi, where the tip line is advertised on local radio stations and printed on posters and handbills, militant-produced CDs detailing the confessions and, sometimes, executions of alleged collaborators and informants are widely circulating. "We are all against the occupation. I cannot even imagine that we can cooperate with the occupation against our own people," said Mohammed Hassan, who owns a computer store in Ramadi. While he does not support the attacks on Iraqi forces, he complains that some of the Iraqi soldiers and police "are even worse than the Americans. "They're very immoral," he said."
