Iraqi Militia Channels Henry Rollins

OK, so maybe this is just a coincidence, but I'm getting some nice mental imagery of a pissed-off Henry Rollins (seemingly redundant phrase, I know) toting an AK-47 whacking terrorist scumbags. Mohammed, be afraid, be very afraid.
BAGHDAD—Twenty men slinging Kalashnikovs, Sterling sub-machineguns, and an assortment of pistols sauntered down a main street in the Baghdad neighborhood of al-Adhamiya one recent Friday afternoon ready for business. As locals watch anxiously, the men tore down pro-Baathist and anti-Coalition posters, a common sight in this pro-Saddam district. Then they replaced the posters with leaflets of their own, vowing attacks on "terrorists" and their allies in the name of a militia called the "Black Flag".
