Another Fine Day in Iraq

From CNN (under the headline "11 Dead", which seems to defy math):

At least 68 people were killed today in a suicide attack in Baquba, Iraq. Another 42 died in fighting in south-central Iraq, and another person was killed in a blast near a Baghdad police station. Speaking in Cairo, U.S. Secretary of State Colin Powell condemned the Baquba attack, calling it "an attempt by murderers to deny the Iraqi people their dream."
Mr. Powell would know, after all.
