Meanwhile in Iraq

LaBelle called this morning rightly indignant about a group of local women who are getting publicity and all kinds of warm fuzzy radio highlights by making little gift bags of crayons, toothbrushes and soap for Iraqi children. Don't even get me started. Could we get them some water? LaBelle wants to know. How about some electricity?

Az-Zaman: A cold wave has gripped Baghdad, leaving 16 children dead from exposure. Electricity has been unreliable recently because of sabotage, and there are heating fuel shortages for the same reason.
