3. I got up at 8:30 AM this morning,

so this must have happened a couple of hours ago. I mention this because, obviously, this is an important story. Suicide bombing and a diplomat killed. I have seen it mentioned only at the top of the hour on both MSNBC and CNN, and it was the second story each time. And I have not seen film of the aftermath. Perhaps this is part of the new policy? Is this now going to be treated as unimportant news, or not as important as the Arnold victory? I hope this new plan backfires on them. I think they should report the good and the bad, yes, but to tell us that they are upset at the way the news is filtered is very telling. Sounds like someone resurrected the misinformation campaign that Rummy had wanted. I just think it smacks of censorship.

4. So what was the target, the Iraqi Police?

Why, because of cooperation with US? Or is it rival religious factions. I read the article, but I'm confused.

5. We need Ah-no in Iraq. He's not afraid to pick up arms and fight the

Iraqis personally. He's willing to die for America which is more than we can say for Bush, Cheneny, Rumsfeld, Lice, Wolfowitz, Perle, Powel, Asscroft...
