   Via [1]Ace, they're [2]baaaaaaack:

     Iraqi police said Monday that they have found 20 headless bodies in
     north of Baghdad with one believed to be a tribal leader.
     ...
     After investigating the "20 headless bodies" story, Multi-National
     Force Iraq has no record that this incident took place yesterday
     near Baquba (Bakubah).

   Hmmm, sequels never live up to the [3]original.
   Meanwhile, in real [4]news:

     RAMADI, Iraq - For veterans of Ramadi, it seems like a different
     place and a different war.
     Just last year, soldiers were breaking down doors, hunting
     insurgents and struggling to secure the city block by block. U.S.
     troops now are invited into the homes of sheiks for lunch.
     ...
     Attacks, including those by small-arms fire, explosive devices,
     have decreased from about 30 a day in January to fewer than one a
     day now, according to the U.S. military. Last year, during the holy
     month of Ramadan, there were 442 incidents in the area; this year,
     there were four, the military said.

   Read the whole thing. There's a nice bit about Abu Risha, who
   organized the Anbar Awakening; in the wake of his assassination, he's
   become a martyr and his brother has picked up the reins.
