Some 30 people dead in series of attacks in Iraq,
http://www.boston.com/dailynews/055/world/Some_30_people_dead_in_series_:.shtml

<snip>

Daham said the bomber was able to slip into the station undetected because he was wearing a police lieutenant's uniform. He blamed guards at the station's gates for allowing the assailant to enter without checking his papers or searching his vehicle.

Twenty cars were set ablaze after the massive blast, sending clouds of smoke into the sky. An Associated Press photographer on the scene saw at least 10 charred bodies laying on the ground, which was splattered with pools of blood and bits of human flesh.

Several ambulances raced to the blast site, ferrying casualties to a local hospital. U.S. troops sealed off the area and set up checkpoints and searched vehicles across the city.

Elsewhere, insurgents ambushed a police patrol in the northern city of Kirkuk with a roadside bomb, killing two policemen and injuring three.

In Iskandariyah, a suicide bomber blew himself up in front of an office that serves as the local headquarters of the Shiite Supreme Council for the Islamic Revolution in Iraq, killing five people, including three police officers and a child who was walking down the road at the time, the government said.

,...on CM since the Iraq "election?

I find it very concerning because I wonder if things are getting too bad to report (e.g. intentional "scrubbing").

6. Iraq violence kills 30 in one day
February 25, 2005 - 7:19AM

A suicide bomber blew up his car inside police headquarters in predominantly Sunni Arab Tikrit, killing at least 15 people in Saddam Hussein's hometown.

This raised the one-day death toll in Iraq to 30 - including two American soldiers <snip>

7. We Need to Protest
We are not doing enough to stop this junta from their non-stop destruction. Do we sufficiently feel the loss?
