AN UNEXPECTED VOICE IN THE DESERT

Also in the Telegraph reporter, Toby Harnden describes the build-up outside Fallujah:

Troops line up outside the PX store to get their last supplies before the battle: junk food, sweatshirts for the cold nights and Bibles with camouflage covers.

The gyms on base are full of marines pumping iron. On a board in one there is a quotation from Malcolm X: "You can't separate peace from freedom because no one can be at peace unless he has his freedom."
