#1 Nice summary. I don't know about anybody else, but I have found myself unexpectedly fascinated by the countermeasures/countertactics employed against these bombs and the people placing them.

One of my favorites is the story LtCol Steve Russell told about his guys, who got a stash of some doorbell buzzers used in remotely detonating bombs and taped some of them to their vehicles. Smart, simple, and effective, what's not to like ?

#2 These tactics might have been effective against sheeple, but those Iraqi terrorists don't seem to understand that the people being targeted are members of the U.S. Armed Forces who will fight back, with deadly efficiency.
