...surprising that Iraqi policemen are targets. Saddam loyalists and Islamist groups have condemned local cops for cooperating with coalition forces and threatened them with dire consequences. But it is astonishing that the attackers were able to penetrate into the police HQ. The compound, in the shadow of the giant Interior Ministry building, is heavily guarded by U.S. soldiers as well as local policemen. To enter the compound, the car would have had to pass through at least three checkpoints in less than 300 yards. "Only somebody with the right papers could have made it through the guards," says Jabbar. Brigadier...
...wonderful example of straight men and gay men communicating, laughing and getting along." I don't think the show is a step forward at all. In fact, it just reinforces existing gay stereotypes--the notion that gay men can be nothing more than fashion designers, hair stylists and interior decorators.

In the month after the show aired, sales of the items nearly quadrupled, according to the store. Visiting the housewares emporium Domain, Queer Eye's interior designer, Thom Filicia, got excited about the store's red Victoria settee ($3,099) and dubbed it a "chofa" (bigger than a chair, smaller than a sofa). Now Domain plans to rename it too--and has seen sales double. In another show, the crew went to the flagship Ralph Lauren...
