had contact with "Auntie" in Baghdad. Auntie said, "Don't worry about me, Fedayeen are in all the houses in Baghdad protecting us."

Oh Sh*T .. that doesn't sound good

same way Vinnie and Guido protected "establishments" in old Chicago.

About what "Auntie" said...I can't believe we don't have intel on this, though. We have to know this is probably the case.

That jives with what another Iraqi American was saying on Bill O'Reilly last night. He said he had talked to his family in Iraq and that the Fedayeen had ordered everyone to leave their doors unlocked to provide unfetered access 24/7 to ALL residences by Fedayeen. This is gonna get bloody I'm afraid.

You know, several years ago, my home group from church befriended a Kurdish family from Iraq. I didn't get to know them well, but I remember hearing the dad speak of family members killed and buried in mass graves.

I don't remember their complete story or how they got here. They eventually moved to Tennesee where they had family but then came back and I think are here now (PHX). There is a large group of, I believe Kurds, in northern PHX.

I now wish I'd paid more attention and gotten to know them better, but I had no clue at the time about what was going on with the people in Iraq. I just remember them being very soft spoken, polite and very hospitable.
