Iraqi leaders call targeting of US troops "a legitimate right"

This is part of the statement from the same conference of Iraqi leaders that called for a timetable for a US withdrawal from Iraq. Read this carefully.

"Though resistance is a legitimate right for all people, terrorism does not represent resistance. Therefore, we condemn terrorism and acts of violence, killing and kidnapping targeting Iraqi citizens and humanitarian, civil, government institutions, national resources and houses of worships," the document said.

Can't guarantee the WaPo translation, but if I read this right, what they're saying here is that resistance(i. e. attacks) against US troops are a legitimate right, but any action against anybody else is not. Not exactly being greeted with flowers, eh, Mr. Rumsfeld?
