Those brave Iraqi freedom fighters are stepping up their heroic efforts to rid their nation of the indignity of free elections. With Zarqawi upping the ante, who knows what will come next. We hope they don't get overly zealous in their noble pursuit: let there be no slashing of tires on get-out-the-vote vans (such barbarity is only acceptable in the barely-civilized, post-industrial cultures of Blue America).

The Milwaukee County D.A. is reportedly going to file charges this week -- a simple vandalism rap that took two and a half months to bring. No wonder Zarqawi sleeps so easily each night.
