I suspect "to the river" simply means "as far as the river", not meaning there is necessarily an exit there. I will believe this is simply a transport tunnel toward central Baghdad until otherwise reported.

The important tunnels are not going to be this easy to access, especially with all the rubble of those "Palaces" blocking the entrances.

I just assumed "the river" was a reference to the Euphrates, away from the city, but looking again at the map, the Tigris is indeed closer.

I agree with you, it is unlikely to be part of any "secret" or otherwise militrily/regime valuable network. The WDC subway system, etc. is not connected to the military/political bunker and tunnel system "nearby."

Anyone who wants a real hoot: check out Fisk's latest update on the troubles our Armed Forces face in "Arab News".

It is listed right now on the "Extended News" header, or you can search on the word "impenetrable"... He's gonna be real disappointed when he finds out Baghdad Int'l has been taken.

Remember on election night 2000 when Begala described the FL panhandle as "Alabama without the blacks". I was in shock. I have loathed him ever since.

CNN reporting Iraqi authorities have order its people to walk toward Saddam International Airport.

I'm not making that up. Seems a very strange order.
