	<description>Eventually, I learned the joys of killing. But I’m skipping ahead of myself. I landed in Iraq in November 2004 armed with a video camera instead of a weapon...</description>

					<description>One of the local news in DC, I can't remember which one because I'm was surfing the news for the weather at that time and what I heard put me in the "deer in the headlights" mode. :shock:  They said that the surge might not be working because the number of deaths were up from 2/07 to 10/07 compared to the numbers of 2004. Before I could open my mouth I looked at my wife and she said "Yep, that's what they said." Keith Olbermann is not that stupid. Just about everybody knows how fucked up he is. 
I guess that's why they're the local news and that's why I watch Fox News and read News Busters and Pat Dollard.</description>

					<description>My understanding is that this was caused by the increase in lock ups of 16-40 year old males. No charges other than being of fighting age.

How many men are in Iraqi jails? I heard about 80,000. Can't keep em locked up forever. Bush will change their status to POW's that will be next. Anything to make George look good.

The surge added how many to the prison population?</description>
