Another report of the incident in which Iraqi civilians grabbed their guns and said "The hell you say."  If this keeps up, it's going to become gratifyingly dangerous to be a terrorist in Iraq.

In other Iraq news, examination of a largely unexpurgated version of a Pentagon audit of Halliburton subsidiary KBR showed that almost every reference in the audit critical of KBR had been blacked out in the version given to the international monitoring board, including numbers showing that the Pentagon found KBR overbilled by more than $100 million.

"If a man come to kill you, rise up and kill him."

It's in the Torah as well? Not too surprising, I suppose, considering.

That quote's from either the Bible or the Koran.

I first saw it in the Bible. But it's probably that whole tradition, and probably in the Torah first. I just find it amusing as an entry-point into the doublethink widely practised by the Self-Professed Holy of the American religious right.
