Iran, Iraq, folly and cash money
CNN is reporting that an Iranian diplomat may have been abducted/arrested in Iraq. The U.S. is denying "coalition" forces were involved.

Meanwhile, a fifth U.S. chopper has been downed in Iraq.


And I was thinking yesterday, if this guy is a terrorist who shouldn't sit in Iraq's parliament, then would we say that Israel shouldn't have allowed accused war criminal Ariel Sharon, or Irgun and Stern Gangs (who bombed British holdings in Palestine and were considered terrorists by the Crown,) like the late Menachem Begin or Yitzak Shamir to sit at the head of government in the premiership? Just a thought...


From Baghdad this morning, the joint Iraqi-U.S. security crackdown has reportedly begun. Let's hope it works, though I'm not exactly optimistic.

A judge in Italy has ordered a U.S. Marine to face trial over the death of an Italian security official who was killed when the car carrying him and journalist Giuliana Sgrena sped through a checkpoint in Baghdad in March 2005.


And who in their right mind would ship 360 tons of cash to a war zone? Apparently, Paul Bremer.
