Admittedly, the Iowa caucus is the most painstaking, complicated form of democracy to exist outside a campus women's collective. Instead of walking into a voting booth, pulling the top lever for President and randomly yanking the rest of them like you're supposed to, the caucus is a three-hour Monday-night political dorkfest reserved for the kinds of people who get psyched about jury duty.

U.S. spokesmen said the damage was caused by secondary explosions from the hidden arsenal. But villagers told TIME that a U.S. bomb hit the wrong house, 50 yards from the militant's.
