A bus full of men in civilian clothes had been pulled over at a checkpoint. While one man was being questioned, he drew a finger across his throat, Tomlin and others on the bus said. Asked what that meant, he responded with a glare...

...What you're saying is you want to kill me," Tomlin said to the man.

The Iraqi nodded.

"You're saying you want to kill me?" he asked.

The Iraqi grinned and glared.

At that point, a gunnery sergeant grabbed the man, threw him to the floor and bound his hands behind his back with plastic handcuffs.

The Iraqi was "crying like a baby," the sergeant said, and Tomlin said the other 30 men on the bus "knew we meant business."

"Their feet were in good condition and several had nice watches. I asked where they were going," he said. "One man said, 'To a funeral for our cousin, who drowned while fishing.' "

The Marines said that sounded fishy and sent them south for further questions.

Fishy indeed...:D

Something tells me this guy wasn't at the top of their Fedayeen class.
