...pages (bonus points for giving The B-52's "Private Idaho" the respect it deserves), as well as some questionable decisions (The Stone Roses' "I Wanna Be Adored" is way better than the book's choice of "She Bangs the Drums,") that can be chocked up to a matter of taste. But for the most part, the project comes off like a personal message that High Fidelity's Rob Gordon might obsessively attach to a mix-tape...

And when American universities are even...
...What the Iraqi government will do with the SOI is a matter of great concern for U.S. commanders, who see them as allies in the fight against al-Qaeda. Iraqi officials are more likely to view them as criminals seeking to hide their murderous past. That's why the government of Prime Minister Nouri al-Maliki is extremely reluctant to absorb all the SOI into the police and Iraqi army.
