...cells. I have installed the low-energy lights I bought at Home Depot, even though they make my living room look like a gas-station toilet. I look for products at the grocery store with the green recycling thingy on the package and then place my purchases in reusable burlap bags. I potty-trained my kid. When I die, I plan to be placed au naturel in a shallow hole and become fertilizer for a dogwood tree. But there's one thing I won't give up. If he wants my toilet paper, Al Gore himself will have...

While searching for gunmen in a house a short distance away, the soldiers came across a white burlap sack hung on a door; it contained a human head. There was no sign of the victim's body, which may very well have joined other decapitated corpses periodically seen floating down the Diyala River...
