A so-called reporter for the Al Jazeera News Network, a staunchly pro-Arab news organization, was interviewing a Marine sniper in Basra, a militant hotbed of Al Quaeda activity.
Sarcastically, in an attempt to produce an anti-American sound bite for the news, the reporter asked "Do you feel anything at all when you shoot a brave Al Quaeda freedom fighter from so far away?"
The Marine sniper shrugged. "Just a little recoil," he replied.
