News flash: AP prints the news

Kudos to AP (and our local paper) for printing some actual Iraq news; I could hardly believe it. It is, unfortunately, buried in the paper when it should be page one (along with all the here's-another-dead-body page one's they've been running for, how long now?).

Robert Reid nicely covers the story of three men dragged from their cars, taken to a nearby Mosque to ensure an audience, and killed. They were Sunnis, and their crime was putting up fliers supporting the Iraqi Constitution. (Which goes to show that delaying the constitution, as the Nets will push to do because the Bush administration wants it put in place now, is the wrong thing to do.) This is real news that gets to the heart of what's going on. Good job. Now let's start giving it the context it merits: Front page and center.
