Most of the Bag-cams have a circus right in the middle of the frame. Alot of the cars seemed to be just going in a circle.

I didn't catch the latter part of the report, but I think it was about war crimes from '91. Maybe Kuwaiti MIA's?

OMG... there were 602 Kuwait MIAs.

It could also be leftovers from the Shiite uprisings afterwards... most every family lost people because they thought when they rose up, we would help.

It's not over by a long shot!

And they have found a mass grave near Basrah. Hundreds of bodies!

There was a procession of many siren-squealing cars running around Baghdad following each other like characters in like a bad Japanese RPG.

You have daughters? Ours, like our son, always _thought_ they could last just a little longer than they could, especially when something really fun was going on...

The 3rd ID punched through a supply route to test their defenses and let the people there know we're here. They headed straight for Baghdad International (where we've set it up as an AFB, and don't seem to intend to leave for a while). CentCom has said we've got soldiers in the middle of Baghdad, and they're not scouts. They're there until the job's done.

Fox - Morgue/mass grave in south of Iraq update. British spokesman at CentCom. Strips of Iraqi army uniforms are with them. Usually, they're buried within 24hrs. Why have they been kept for so long? Where the Iraqis trying to hide something? Why were they concealed? Bodies stacked.

Several times packs of 5-10 white cars with sirens have driven slowly past the CBS webcam, blocking traffic in the traffic circle. Reuters had video of these caravans stopping and lots of Iraqis with AKs pointed at the air getting out and milling around.

These guys make lots of noise but have no purpose besides demonstrating "defiance" for the TV cameras.

And here's my note to Aaron:

To Aaron Brown and the rest of the blame-America-whiners, at CNN/Time:

You must be feeling pretty stupid by now. (I hope you do, or you may be beyond hope.) The best way to try to rebuild your reputation may be to start with an apology for your recent disgraceful performance. You virtually aided and abetted the enemy's own propaganda campaign. It's not that I've seen much of you. But I did see your interview with Christopher Dickey's a week ago. It might have been with the Iraqi "Minister of Information," for the perversion of reality that it was.

Try that apology idea. You'll probably find America forgiving. You're fotunate to live here and not in some other nations considering what you did, or you would be in prison. In part, you would deserve it.

Regards, Arlen Williams
