American Soldier Held in U.S. Camp Attack [AP World News] He apparently rolled grenades into three different tents, which pretty much rules out an accident. I wonder what it was all about? 10:04:50 PM    comment () Nick Denton is mapping the invasion of Iraq. [Scripting News] There's no legend but it looks like the progress of the invasion is shown by the orange. The orange splotches in the north apparently represent the Kurd-controlled territory. 7:21:01 PM    comment () No safety in weaseldom. In recent days there have been reports of ricin in France and a foiled attack in Germany. This should be instructive to those who believe the danger will go away if we just close our eyes and believe three impossible things before breakfast. If you are going to get hit either way you might as well stand and fight.... [Samizdata.net] Another of the more psychotic crusaders demonstrates just how vile he is. No doubt he would have been delirious with joy if the foiled attacks had succeeded. Personally, I'm grateful to France and Germany for continuing the fight against Islamic terrorists. It's a good thing they're making progress even though the US government has gone off on a lunatic crusade at the behest of "Osama's Useful Idiots." 4:58:45 PM    comment () Saddam 'not a key war aim'. The head of coalition forces in Iraq admits that he has no idea of whether Iraqi leader Saddam Hussein is alive or dead. [BBC News | Front Page | UK Edition] "The way we're undertaking this military operation would not be changed irrespective of the location or the life of this one man and that's why we talk about the regime," said General Franks. That's hardly surprising, given the announcement Tuesday that the war would go ahead no matter what. 2:33:52 PM    comment ()
