From yesterday's New York Times:

As American troops secured the governor's office, L. Paul Bremer III, the top American administrator in Iraq, announced the appointment of the new governor, Adnan al-Zurufi, and promised the restoration of American-backed authority in Najaf....

For his part, Mr. Zurufi also said his goal was to disarm the militias and restore American-backed authority there. He also promised to bring economic development and tourism to the city.


Tourism? Tourism?

You've got to hand it to our guys in Iraq -- they never stop thinking that the glass is half full.
