Iraq: It's Not Getting Better

Happy horse manure from this administration aside - and that's quite an aside considering the mess - Iraq is NOT getting less dangerous.

Car bombs have been devastating this week, but that's not all and far more than a few GIs and Marines sadly lost their lives. We also have lots of kidnappings, a bunch of people forcibly freed from Abu Ghraib and this sad note from CNN today (more targeting of humanitarian workers):

An American founder of a humanitarian group for Iraqi civilian war casualties has been killed in a car bomb blast, a Western official in Baghdad said Sunday.

Marla Ruzicka, founder of Campaign for Innocent Victims in Conflict (CIVIC), was traveling near Baghdad International Airport Saturday when a "vehicle borne explosive device" exploded, killing her and her driver the official said.
