In the "Shit Hits the Fan Saturday" Edition
From CNN:
Terrorists are pressing on with their insurgency campaign as the handover of sovereignty to Iraq's interim government draws nearer. A suspected car bomb Saturday killed 17 people and wounded 40 others, a coalition military official said. And Al-Jazeera TV station reported three Turks had been kidnapped, as President Bush was flying to Turkey for a NATO summit.Elsewhere:
- * a key militant has been killed in the Palestinian camp
* the Pakistani PM has quit and ended his cabinet
* Female Afghan pollworkers have been killed
* Turkey's a mess prior to the arrival of Bush (just what is there about our belooped leader than inspires such crap?)
* Paul Johnson, the Lockheed Martin contractor beheaded more than a week ago in Saudi Arabia, has been laid to rest
* Muslims are seeing terrible backlashes re: the beheadings (you can't hold all Muslims responsible for this extreme savagery anymore than you can hold all Christians responsible for the crap a handful pull)
