Just past 11 p.m., Russell's phone rang. The informant had spotted the target; the operation was a go. "I wanna get this bastard who's been attacking my men," Russell said as the convoy pulled out and headed to a flophouse in town where the Fedayeen commander was lodging. Russell's Cobra Company stormed the three-story building, netting 38 workers from out of town and their man--a provincial Fedayeen organizer nicknamed Sami "The Rock." Task Force 20, operating south of Tikrit, nabbed two more "high level" resistance leaders on the same night. Said Russell after the raid...
...biggest surprise in a candid-camera survey of what takes U.S. drivers' minds off the road was what didn't. Cell phones, the favorite target of legislators and late-night comedians, ranked relatively low on the list of distractions captured by Minicams in a weeklong survey for the American Automobile Association. Only 30% of drivers in the study were caught making calls from behind the wheel, in contrast to 97% who were spotted reaching or leaning, 91% who fiddled with the radio, 77% who ate or drank and 46% who groomed themselves.

That sentiment is spreading. After the Baghdad raid that left Zaid Khazalalrubai and four bystanders dead, tribal leaders from around the country descended on the home of Rabiah Mohammed al-Habib, a prominent tribal prince whose house was the target of the raid.

But I cannot control the feeling of my people...
...corner. At 6:30 p.m. Derrick Robinson, the manager of Sofas-UK, looked out the window of another pub and saw 200 people gathered outside his locked store. He quickly opened up. Robinson didn't know it yet, but he'd achieved the dubious distinction of being the target of London's first Inexplicable Mob. Once in the shop the mob had been instructed to "look at a sofa, view them with the reverence and awe that one should have for soft furniture" and say, "Oh wow, what a sofa" without uttering the letter O. "I understand they choose...
...Yahoo e-mail list called Sitcominfo he uses to promote his plays. He forwarded Bill's e-mail to all of them. The first mob didn't go entirely according to plan. Someone, later dubbed Squealer, tipped off the police who were waiting with a van outside the target, a Claire's Accessories shop. Nevertheless, 20 or so people made it inside and the mob was born. "The biggest shock is how it spread," says Bill. "Within days people started groups in other cities." Now it has infiltrated much of Europe as well. So far, Dublin, Amsterdam, Zurich and Vienna...
