These Guys Are Getting Goooooood!

I don't know who is next on the hit list but these assasins have it going on as far as hitting top folks. With but 17 days left before these faulty (though necessary if only to save face or some shred of credibility) elections, I am almost afraid to see who will be next.

"A representative of Iraq's top Shia Muslim cleric has been assassinated along with his son and four bodyguards.

The attack against Sheikh Mahmoud al-Madaini came after evening prayers on Wednesday in the town of Salman Pak.

He headed the office of Ayatollah Ali Sistani in the mainly Sunni Muslim town in the lawless zone south of Baghdad.

It is the latest of a string of attacks launched by mainly-Sunni insurgents to derail national elections scheduled for 30 January."

I just hope they don't have anybody planted 'round these parts. Though I'm sure Dubya is walking around in a virtual bullet proof box, I'm just not feeling all that "homeland" secure and between January 20 (Iraqi elections) and January 30 (Inauguration) strange things can happen.

Trying not to hold my breath ...
