If you haven't yet read this Washington Post article about tensions in Fallujah, read it -- near the end you learn that people trying to compile a record of Saddam's crimes are begging for help and not getting it; in the middle you read about graffiti left on a Fallujah classroom ("'Eat [expletive] Iraq' was scrawled on a wall") by American soldiers. I said a few days ago that the tensions between U.S. troops and Iraqis were reminding me of what can transpire between cops and inner-city dwellers Stateside; the graffiti makes me think of some of the radio transmissions on the night of the Rodney King beating.

Also, if you haven't read it, read Matt Taibbi's howl of (utterly justified) outrage at New York Times coverage of Guantánamo.
