Excerpts of the Iraq Study Group have been released and are available online.

Yahoo!News' coverage of the group's report can be found here. One of the most interesting (and disturbing) facts reported in the report is that the US military has been systematically under-reporting violence in Iraq. This reminds me of what I learned my Vietnam War class in grad school...

Representatives Udall and Reyes today announced that six Marines will be charged in the deaths of 24 individuals who were killed in Haditha last year.

Meanwhile, while the poiticans are debating how the war is going, eight people were killed in a Baghdad resale shop and ten US Soldiers were killed in various locations today.

Vatican archaeologists report that they may have found the remains of St. Paul. More from EWTN.com and CWNews.com.



Remember to pray the Rosary for Peace!
