detergence

* farmblogging: the power went out again and i lost a big post. damn.

* farmblogging: bunnicide is bad. one of the bunnies nearly killed another. i think the poor thing has a broken neck. its still alive tho. it can still kick its legs but apparently cant move its head. im not sure if thats a broken neck or not. seems not. i moved it but decided not to kill it. yet. oops - i mean 'put it out of its misery'.

* its a shame that the ams didnt find wmd. powell might still have a reputation. if only saddam was more determined and had more capacity to fulfill his dreams, then powells reputation would much higher. damn saddam.

* "The U.S. military is investigating the killing of a wounded and apparently unarmed Iraqi prisoner inside a mosque during combat operations here, the Defense Department told NBC News on Monday." im a bit sus about this story (not surprisingly!) - weve had days of being told that all pix and reporting were under military control - and now we see this thing repeated again and again on the teeve. i must have seen the footage 10 times in a few hours. did the pentagon change their rules? why is this guy referred to as a 'pool cameraman' rather than 'embedded'? why this particular warcrime? i saw something virtually the same (without the actual murder, but without any doubt about what was happening) late last week that apparently didnt warrant any further comment. and there was no real discussion about the warcrime of blowing up the hospital. or cutting off the water. or any of the many others. for some reason, this one is getting mass traction... the msg from cnn is that the footage 'may present a problem, becuase insurgents will be less likely to surrender if this is how they might be treated' - perhaps thats the point. it has a similar feel to the way abug was handled somehow.

* "Iraq's deputy prime minister has indicated for the first time that the much-heralded elections due in January could be derailed by the country's violent insurgency." tsports has elections at 80. i still think that is too high. http://www.guardian.co.uk/Iraq/Story/0,2763,1351481,00.html

* lol - tsports is betting what color the alert code will be nov30, dec30 etc. if u think theres a chance that there might be increased security concerns pre-inauguration, then there might be a dollar or two be made... the mkt seems to think 90% likely no change...

* "U.S. Military Says Has 100 Pct Control of Falluja" woohoo. http://story.news.yahoo.com/news?tmpl=story&cid=578&e=4&u=/nm/20041116/ts_nm/iraq_dc

* the boobytrapped corpses thing is funny.

* "Drones pick off 'rats' of Fallujah" http://www.theaustralian.news.com.au/common/story_page/0,5744,11398924%255E2703,00.html

* imagine if boykin gets promoted. dobson in a uniform. shudder.

* rabbit for dinner
