BAGHDAD – The United States on Tuesday suspended all land travel by U.S. diplomats and other civilian officials throughout Iraq except in Baghdad’s heavily fortified Green Zone following a weekend incident involving private security guards in which a number of Iraqi civilians were killed.

I was going to add another Iraq story I just saw, but am going to sleep instead.

earlier to brief Gordon Broon and Des “Dangleberry” Browne – a man kinder people than I would describe as a toady.
Broon may well believe him. Browne will believe what Broon tells him to.
It must comfort them greatly in Baghdad, to have a Green Zone of their very own.
