BAGHDAD, Iraq - Iraqi soldiers rushed to a mainly Sunni area of west Baghdad on Monday to free 23 Iraqis who had been taken hostage at a fake checkpoint there, a government spokesman said. A roadside bomb killed three Americans and wounded two. Fresh attacks against Sunnis in Hurriyah, a mixed neighborhood of northwestern Baghdad, have raised new fears of an organized campaign by Shiite militants to drive Sunnis from the area and strengthen militia control of the capital's north.

3. Thank god all those soldiers died -- gives us more clubs to beat *.

I really hate this. If you care at all about the fallen, why do you use them as a simple statistic and nothing more?

The callous insensitivity is striking.

5. Looks like the Batman franchise is branching out to Broadway.

I see Egghead, The Decider and the Joker will have prominent roles in "Batshit Crazy: Eyes Wide Shut".
