...when choosing a room. You have to actually visit the room in person before you make a commitment to it for next year. Just because someone is currently living in it doesn’t mean you should be shy when you are inspecting it. Test the Internet connection. Lie down in the beds. Sit on the toilet. You can never be too exhaustive in your testing. Trust me, you don’t want to choose a suite only to discover next year when you move in that the toilet paper dispenser is eight feet away from the toilet...
...door still nudged open, and a gun came into view, then a man. Violand dove under a desk as Cho began systematically shooting people, almost in rhythm, taking his time.

After all, they dominate several of Iraq's key ministries and many of its military and police units. If and when the Americans leave, they hope to be well positioned to pursue their...
...Both the Mahdi Army and the Sunni insurgents are working from the classic guerrilla warfare playbook: avoid confrontations with concentrations of better-armed enemy forces; lie low or mount attacks elsewhere to stretch his forces. It's been this way, in one form or another, since the insurgency began in the summer of 2003. And it's a reminder that no matter how thoughtful and well-executed the military strategy is, its effectiveness will be determined by the political reality...
