Great cartoons and they are right to the point when it comes to Bush's decision regarding Libby. All I can think about are two things: Who is the next covert CIA operative to get ratted out by these treasonous bastards? Who in their right mind would want to join the CIA, NSA and others now knowing what the Bush Administration did to Plame?  I can tell you right now that there isn't enough money in the world that would get me to apply for that agency. 

This isn't funny.

Suicide bomber kills 105 in Iraqi village

TUZ KHURMATU (AFP) - A suicide truck bomber ripped the heart out of a northern Iraqi village on Saturday, killing at least 105 people and demolishing dozens of homes and shops, police and medics said.

Ambulances and private cars ferried dozens of bloodied corpses and wounded civilians to clinics in the nearby town of Tuz Khurmatu and the provincial capital Kirkuk, where desperate relatives waited for news of the missing.

Officials were stunned by the scale of the blast, which devastated the main market in Emerli, a small rural community of people from Iraq's Shiite Turkmen minority living in an area notorious for Al-Qaeda militants.

"I heard the cries of my child, then I heard nothing else until I woke in hospital," sobbed middle-aged housewife Sukaina Abdul Razak, whose clay brick home collapsed when the blast ripped through the village.

"I don't know the fate of my husband and my family. They were all in the kitchen, but I was in my room," she told AFP as she was treated for head injuries in Kirkuk's overcrowded emergency room.

Shrapnel from the blast killed shoppers hundreds of metres (yards) from its epicentre, wounded grocer Hussein Abu Al-Hussein Akbar Aziz said in Kirkuk.

"We have never seen an attack like that in Emerli. The whole village was shrouded in smoke and dust," he said, grimacing from a leg injury. "I was serving a woman and her child in my shop. They were both killed."

Lieutenant Colonel Saman Hamid, commander of the security coordination centre in nearby Tuz Khurmatu, told AFP: "105 Iraqis were killed and five are missing, we have registered their names. There are more than 250 wounded."

The casualty toll was confirmed by Dr Wiss
