"We have seen the enemy, and the enemy is us."

One of the 13 soldiers wounded in a grenade attack on a tented camp in Kuwait today has died of his injuries, CNN reported.
Time magazine correspondent Jim Lacey told the broadcaster by telephone from Camp Pennsylvania in Kuwait that he had been told of the death by several people.
"We're allowed to talk about it," he said.

Good heavens, the media actually allowed to talk about something in wartime? Someone clamp down on that!

The US military said earlier today that 13 US soldiers were wounded in a suspected terror attack at the heavily-guarded Camp Pennsylvania in the northern Kuwait desert, updating the figure from 10. [...]
News reports have stated that a US soldier was being held after the attack left 13 troops injured.
Charles Clover, a reporter with the Financial Times, said in a telephone call to CNN that the American was being held but said he could give no further details at the request of the US military, such as whether the soldier was suspected of being directly responsible for the attack or of aiding the perpetrators.

FoxNews has more:

An American soldier caught in a Sunday morning grenade attack in Kuwait is dead.
A suspect in the attack, also a member of the 101st Airborne Division in Kuwait, has been detained. Three of the thirteen hurt when grenades were apparently tossed into tents are undergoing surgery, military officials said.
The suspect, a Muslim American, went missing shortly before the incident, and was later found nearby hiding in a bunker. The motive in the attack "most likely was resentment," said Max Blumenfeld, a spokesman for the U.S. Army V Corps. He did not elaborate.

We can presume that Fox were more interested in specifying the fact that the suspect is a Muslim rather than the fact that he's an American. Cue outraged questioning about how a cowardly anti-American towelhead like that ever got into the heroic ranks of the US military, especially at this crucial time in world history...
