...first time since the war - and depriving the reconstruction effort of $7 million a day during the weeks it may take to repair. The pipeline remains vulnerable despite U.S. plans to deploy some 1,000 Iraqi security guards along the 600-mile route. Insurgents Saturday blew a hole in Baghdad's key water pipeline, leaving residents without drinking water for days. While such attacks might seem counterintuitive for an insurgency seeking popular support, there may nonetheless be a political rationale behind each: Given the high level of mistrust toward the occupying authority in Baghdad, it's a safe bet that...
...afternoon, after the military escort left, a crowd of 300 locals and distant family members, all men, came and laid Iraqi flags over the fresh mounds of earth. Eleven chanted "No God but Allah" as they carried Mustafa's silver colored coffin to the freshly dug hole in the ground. "They are heroes, the sons of President Saddam Hussein," says Mahmoud Jemma Hamid, 19, who helped carry Mustafa to his final resting place.

Its friendly proprietor, Preecha?his chuffed, pixie face framed by the type of wet perm favored by early 1980s R.-and-B. stars (think Lionel Richie)?sits cross-legged on the bare, concrete floor lazily sewing a cowhide saddlebag...
...collected more than one million signatures. The names have been forwarded to the secretary of state for review. Getting that many signatures in a state of more than 34 million people wasn?t hard: Plenty of Californians are angry after witnessing their state get sucked down a financial black hole during the past three years. In 2001, price gouging energy companies took advantage of botched deregulation to subject the state to rolling blackouts.
