| #2 Fox News reported it badly as well. Initial report was they fired on people looking for work, only after they talked about it a bit did they mention the throwing of stones, etc. |

| #1 I believe there was an incident when a police station in the British control area was stormed. The Iraqi police fled, leaving the brits to get killed. THIS time, they shot back. Things are improving. |
