Excerpt:

Witnesses said they saw a car ablaze at the Baghdad Hotel, believed to be CIA headquarters. Members of the Iraqi interim council, members of the constitutional committee and ministers are also residing at the hotel. Among the governing council members who are staying at the hotel are, Ezzedine Salim, Wael Abdullatif, Salaheddine Bahaaeldine and the Minister of Migration, Mohammed Jassem and the rapporteur of the constitutional committee, Farzat Ahmed. None of them was hurt.

Police at the scene said at least one police officer was among those killed and several more people were wounded. At least eight policemen were rushed to hospital.

I say:

Well, he didn't make it past the checkpoint, so he decided to go boom right where he was. Guess whoever happens to be nearby counts as an enemy for a suicide bomber.

These are sick, evil people. It's a damn good thing they're not in charge anymore. They used to slaughter by the tens of thousands, but they have to do their murdering retail now. Next step: deny even that much to them. We'll probably have to exterminate them to accomplish that, but it'll be worth it.
