Winning the hearts and minds...

Riots broke out in Jalalabad, Afghanistan after interrogators flushed the holy Quran down the toilet to get prisoners to confess. 70 wounded, 4 killed.
The flushing incident took place at Gitmo, but the word spread quickly.


67 people blew themselves up in Iraq in April. The picture is from yesterdays bombing in Baghdad, where two people and the suicide bomber died. At the same time a general in the Iraqi arm, and a high ranking officer in the police was killed in a shooting.

There's more or less a free flow of foreign fighters flooding the Iraqi borders.

400 people have been killed after the new government was inaugurated, and 135 isolated incidents where cars have been blown up by suicide bombers.

This doesn't go in the right direction, no?
