Best news report on Iraq I have ever seen in the US
On CNN International, Michael Ware just did a several minute look back at the bombing of the Askariyah mosque in Samarra and the sectarian civil war that followed. It is perhaps the best coverage of the Iraqi violence I have seen in the US to date.
I'm just mentioning it now so if you see the teaser so you'll stay to watch it. I don't know if regular CNN will show it because it is gut wrenchingly graphic. (Not the Arwa Damon piece.)
Later: Okay, this is not a direct link. Go to the CNN Video page. Select the "World" subsection by clicking on the small picture to the right of "World." Scroll down the available videos to the one titled "A Grim Milestone."
It's hard to watch, but it's the Iraqi on Iraqi side of this war.
Update: In the comments, Cyn has directions to a quicktime version.

If anyone was unable to see it on CNN's site, I also have the clip in QT format on my site: www.mickware.com -- go to the Video section, and it is the second clip on the page titled "AC: Chlorine gas and a grim anniversary," which aired February 21, 2007.
