No vehicle or foot traffic permitted.
Breaking on CNN
Any hint as to why, specifically?
Now word on why. Announced on Baghdad television.
Looks like someone snitched on the baddies.

Is it the annual Ramadan fireworks weekend?
Pelosi's flying in to rally the troops (Bin Laden's troops, of course).
Impingement on Civil Rights!
I think it's the "Running of the Worshippers" weekend, where hundreds are stampeded to death.
One hopes that the terrorists are frantically and unsuccessfully trying to disarm their own bomb, for which the timer had already been activated and because of the curfew they are unable to move it...

with any luck!
Why we didnt sweep that city with unholy aggression in year one is beyond me.
We're stuck with police work in a country that shoots at the police. This can go on forever. We should move to our bases and let the Iraqis do the police work. We should just back up for major confrontations or if Iran or Syria get frisky.
Agreed. An army that isnt moving forward killing people and breaking things is a sitting duck. Conservatives know this most of all which makes this a head scratcher and why this effort polls at 40% support, because its not being waged agressively enough.
For the first time today I heard on the radio Kissenger is advising W.
It's a mess. The die has been cast for Iraq.
Michael Jackson concert?
The Democrats, Billy, Hillary, Chappy, Hanoi Kerry - all of them - are allies of the terrorists.
