Iraqi Governing Council President Killed

From CNN's breaking news:

The president of the Iraqi Governing Council was among those killed today by a car bomb near coalition headquarters in Baghdad, officials said. The blast that killed Izzedine Salim also caused an undetermined number of other casualties, witnesses said.

My initial impression: I don't know about outrage in the Arab world, Secretary Powell, but I know I feel a great deal of outrage over what's happened unnecessarily in Iraq since we unnecessarily went to war there.
