#1 Just hackers, huh? I was hoping a Tomahawk or MOAB took down the whole damn operation.

#3 The material has been considered too graphic to broadcast by western news media.

For eccentric definitions of "western". French and Greek TV, at least, were broadcasting it.

#4 Spent 1.5 hours in a barbershop on Sat. afternoon here in Chicago watching Al-Jazeera. The one report that stood out was on the attack on the al-Ansar in K-stan. Looked like our Kurdish allies were going through the victims belongings,etc. Nothing to be ashamed of. But the images were graphic, for sure, with bodies in all sorts of positions, not a lot of blood or guts, though. The mainstream media (ABC,NBC,CBS) haven't shown this or talked about it to the best of my knowledge. Why? As one of the reasons for going into Iraq was to eliminate its terrorist connection, why the spike on this matter?Drudge said last night it's all about the NYT body-count angle. Correct, Matt. Our progress is verifiable and it will happen. A cakewalk? No, but let's see where we are after next week. Remember the Times was calling Afghanistan a quagmire after one week.

#5 al-Ansar is a terrorist organization. All their belongings would be searched for ID, passports, or any other items useful for intel?

#6 Hey, not all of us were hacking! All it takes is lots of people e-mailing their opinions, all at once. And Al-Jizzerea doesn't publicize e-mail addresses, so you have to find lots and try them all to see if they work. And remember, a picture is worth a thousand words! Let 'em know how you really feel!

#7 Wasn't it nice of Norweigan jailbird Krekar and his minions to put so many in one area?
