#2 The police and Sadr's bullet magnets were on the same side. Wonder how many Sunnis "insurgents" bought the farm.

#3 I read this report as saying: IP and Sadr's militia fighting Ba'athists/AQ, and 19 on the Shi'ite side dead.

#10 Sounds like the Shia malitia were acting on behalf of, or with the police and got their butt kicked by the Sunnis, bad business.

#11 Really doesn't sound right. Too one-sided. There has to be more to this.
