NYT version of same story: (nowhere to be seen in its pages) It is ironic that the only news outlets still controlled by Saddam are all in the USA, none in Iraq..

"The remnants of the regime are going to school on us. They watch what takes place, then they make adjustments," Defense Secretary Donald Rumsfeld told reporters on a trip to Japan.
Well, they better pack a lunch.

The drones are watching these goobers go into specific buildings under cover of darkness. Then in the morning some onsite reconnaisance takes place, and ka-boom.

Lovely, isn't it? But what the hell is with 'Ivy Cyclone'? Can't we think up better names for operations? How about 'Whack-a-Mole'?

But what the hell is with 'Ivy Cyclone'? Can't we think up better names for operations? How about 'Whack-a-Mole'? 'Ivy Cyclone' is no doubt for public consumption. I'm sure the troops have other, even more, uh, colorful names for these operations.
