#1 As if Tehran would confirm Chalabi was their spy? Surprise meter....

#2 I dunno about this Chalabi business, Frank.
I think it may be a way for State to get back at Rummy (the Pentagon).
He didn't go down for the Abu Ghraib "scandal" so they took out this guy.
Score one for Bremer and Foggy Bottom.
I'm sure Chalabi's crooked, but that's how he's survived as long as he did.

As for the story, we got 16 bad guys! Yea!
And our troops have cornered the chief asshat al-Sadr in this shithole town called Kufa!
Looks like the uprising may be about to lose all its air.
HOOAH!

#3 Aided by Iraqi civil defense forces, troops found AK-47s, rocket-propelled grenades, rocket launchers and more than 2,000 rounds of ammunition. Some of the weapons were stashed in the mosqueâs minaret.

Brig. Gen. Mark Kimmitt said Saturday that dozens of people killed in a U.S. attack in the Iraqi desert early Wednesday were attending a high-level meeting of foreign fighters, not a wedding. Kimmitt said six women were among the dead, but he said there was no evidence any children died in the raid near the Syrian border. Coalition officials have said as many as 40 people were killed.

Both of the above paragraphs were bolded (and that emphasis duly noted) in my original posting along with an "EFL" in the header. Any reason why these were altered (along with the article's title, which I understand)?

#6 Thank you, Frank G. Just curious. I've yet to see any major context changes, so it's not a problem.
