News From Iraq

ABC is reporting that "Chemical Ali" will be the first member of Saddam Hussein's regime to go on trial for war crimes. Let's hope this doesn't drag on like Scott Peterson. (But let's hope it has the same result).

Meanwhile Iraq's Defense Minister Hazem Shaalan slammed Iran and Syria for interference in Iraq and supporting the insurgency.

Unfortunately, a bomb attack at a Shiite holy site in Karbala killed seven people. This kind of attack is obviously a blatant attempt to foment civil unrest between Shiites and Sunnis.
