The groups tactics, which have led to success after success across a huge swath of iraq, ferocity and terror. Today, they announced theyve executed 1700 of these men, apparently iraqi soldiers captured in recent days. An unverifiable claim but believable. The number of People Killed in recent days may run into the hundreds. Reporter and that ruthlessness is why u. S. Officials are so concerned the terror here could spread and threaten americans. At the fortresslike u. S. Embassy in baghdad, no evacuation has been ordered yet. But there are more than 5,000 American Contractors in iraq and some have already been extracted by their companies.

What is the biggest worry in that room about doing nothing . Reporter well, the biggest worry is that iraq turns into a breeding ground for terrorist attacks against the u. S. Targets, but there is grave concern about world oil supplies. Remember, iraq is one of the Top Oil Producers in the world. Jonathan karl on the story tonight from the white house. Our thanks to terry moran again. From the news in iraq we turn now to news here at home just moments ago, we heard from the team of experts and doctors treating bowe bergdahl, the former p. O. W.
