Attacking Churches an Outrage, A Mosque?

I like to see how the stenographers cover these events at times. Here's the official position of the US Army on the bombing of the Abdul-Aziz al-Samarrai mosque as reported by ABC "News:"

But Marine Lt. Col. Brennan Byrne said he ordered the mosque attacked after his men came under fire from 30-40 insurgents inside and militants left the compound in an ambulance and shot at U.S. troops.

"If they use the mosque as a military machine, then it's no longer a house of worship and we strike," he said.
