Baghdad, Iraq - Some people are surrendering the booty they took in the Dura district of Baghdad, perhaps in response to a rumored edict by a Muslim cleric forbidding Iraqi wives from having sex with looter husbands.

Muslim clerics have been demanding that ill-gotten goods be surrendered, though none here could confirm the sex-ban order, said to have been issued in Najaf.

Weird news story on slow news day.

"The people were destroying their civilization, their heritage; they were destroying their good Iraqi Muslim character," Jabouri said.

It's about time the clerics began to mention the religion. What good is a religion if the people don't respect their own stuff?

Muslim clerics know how to play hardball don't they?

Getting the electricity back is a very important thing in our effort to win the people's trust.

So much for women's lib...

I've always said that women have the ultimate power...they're the ones who get to say "NO"!

I couldnt imagine my pastor telling my wife to cease her sexual relations with me... What a cockeyed religion...

"Nevermind God's displeasure, think about your sex life!"

"Engineers concluded that a natural gas line was cut north of the city, and that fuel was needed to fire up the plant. Now, Mateus said, Iraqi civilians and U.S. forces were trying to figure out how to restart it without natural gas."

We-yell, wha' chu need is old Bubba, and about a C-130 load of Coleman gas cyclinders. (Talk about a real "hold-my-beer-and-watch-this.")

LOL...well...whatever works. For a culture obsessed with sex, ordering 'em shut off is what it takes to get them to hand over the stolen loot.

Hey I think its not a bad idea, and it can work both ways. Next time my wife loots the local mall, I'll tell her no more fun until she returns the booty.
