Another e-mail home that became a blog, two in a row, but since family were my commenters yesterday there's continuity.

I have an application on my myspace called "Iraq News." It tends to be ahead of the curve, and have everything significant about local happenings. Below are subsequent cut and paste links. It's about the only thing I use myspace for anymore. It is weird how little talk of the incident surfaced in main-stream media.

I saw your comment as well Ben. I suppose I knew something like this could happen, but since my unit spent the first half of our deployment protecting this dude, I recon I painted a rose tinted picture in my head. As well I was in a cantankerous mood when I sat down to write, before I even approached the computer and read the news some stomach issues had me a notch past grumpy.
