CNN International on CNN now? Abu Ghraib under attack?
I turned it on for a minute to see if the Pope died and was surprised to find the international CNN on. They had coverage of the Pope, but also announced an attack on the Abu Ghraib prison in Iraq by insurgents. First reports say eighteen Americans are casualties.

5. Unfortunately, the Iraqi patriots will probably
curtail the random acts of violence and start killing more selectively - in particular US soldiers. They mostly just want to take back their country, their resources, and their media, and until US bodies start piling up, * can continue to claim that he's "winning" and stay the course.

8. i want to say something about this prison, it's been on my mind for awhile
ok rememeber when those 4 contractors were killed and dragged through the streets in Fallejah? Well i remember when the whole prsion scandal broke that i read in a story that many of the prisoners were released in Fallejah and what i think is that when the prisoners got back they told people what had happened to them in that jail and i those contractors were killed in retaliation. Those 4 guys were killed before the prison scandal broke. Maybe thats tin foil hat material but thats what i think happened.

9. Read up on your history of Fallujah! It all started when they had a
protest in the street to oppose the occupation of a school by "our" soldiers. Our soldiers shot into the crowd killing 15 plus and wounding many others that sorry day in April of 2003.

I told my husband that day that this town was finished, there would be no peace until in was annihilated. Unfortunately, for me, my words were true. I stay awake many nights.

At the very least, learn how to spell Fallujah right, and then remember it well.
