According to the dictates of the Religion of Peace™, she should be grateful that she wasn’t killed:
Sehar Muhammad Shafi, 24, has fled her home city of Karachi with her husband and two young daughters after being attacked and raped for changing her faith.
But still welcome news. “Underperformin’ Norman” Mineta is resigning.
Almost literally:
Iraqi security sources said a lieutenant of Al Qaida network chief Abu Ayoub Al Masri was found killed in a car on its way to an insurgency strike. The sources said a bomb inside the car blew up prematurely and killed the lieutenant and three other Al Qaida operatives.
Don’t you just hate when that happens? No virgins for them.
A speculative discussion of why we’re only now hearing about the finding of chemical shells in Iraq, and what else the administration isn’t telling us.

“Formerspook” has the back story.
Are foreign terrorists in Iraq on the run to the border?
Let’s hope so.
Maybe they’re retreating to Okinawa.
You know, I suspect that Iraqis are probably getting pretty tired of all these illegal immigrants coming into Iraq to do the jobs that Iraqis won’t do. You know…chopping off heads, blowing up marketplaces?
Gee, I feel a satire coming on…
It turns out that Coleen Rowley isn’t quite the whistle-blowing heroine she’s been made out to be.

John Fund writes about the Democrats’ dilemma in their continuing attempts to rewrite history.
Most people, including me, are willing to discuss and debate the wisdom of both past and current policy in Iraq. But it’s not possible to debate seriously people who continue to insist that Bush lied, and that it was about oil, or avenging his daddy, or because he’s a bloodthirsty warmonger. And people who continue to spout such nonsense are (thankfully) going to continue to lose at the polls, regardless of how unhappy the American people are with the Iraq situation. Which is better news for the Republicans than they deserve.

I should add that I actually agree with the Democrats that the administration has been incompetent in the war. The problem is that in this (as on almost all issues), the Dems would be even worse (in many cases, not even being willing to actually wage it). As I’ve said on numerous occasions, I wish that we’d had better choices in 2004.
