Iraq: Just Another Day in Paradise

Besides the usual car bombs and yesterday's attempt on outgoing PM Allawi's life, CNN reports this today:

Eleven civilians were killed when a commercial helicopter went down north of the Iraqi capital today, a spokesman for an air charter company said. Six American security workers, three Bulgarian crew members and two Fijian security guards died, said Paul Greenaway, a spokesman for SkyLink, a Canadian-based company that had chartered the craft for work.
